1 Finding your AMP UP! event

Transcription

1 1 Finding your AMP UP! event In order to register as an individual, join a team or form a team, you first need to find your event web page. There are almost 40 AMP UP! events throughout the country in May. In order to register for an event, you need to start at your event s web page and there are two ways to do this. First, you can go directly to the event page, using that event s URL. In this case, we are are going to the Triangle website, If you don t know the URL, you can go to the main event page, and search for your event. Here, for example, I entered North Carolina in the search box, clicked SEARCH......then clicked on the event I wanted to join in this example, the Triangle event: Once you get to your event page, you can register as an individual, form a team, join a team or donate, using the buttons at the bottom of the picture on your event page.

2 2. Form a Team One of the most effective way to participate in AMP UP! is to form a team and invite your friends and family to participate with you. Also, in the process of forming a team, you ll register yourself as an individual. Start by clicking on the Form a Team button: If you are a new participant (you did not participate in 2015) click the JOIN AS A NEW PARTICIPANT button. If you participated last year, you can use your login in information from last year. If you don t remember, click on the me my login information link and your user name and password will be sent to you. In this case, we re joining as a new participant, but the process is the same for both.

3 Enter the name of your team, and a team goal. ($ is the default.) If you are participating as part of a business or company you can enter the name of the business, otherwise skip that section. Once you ve named your team and set a goal, click on the NEXT STEP button at the bottom left corner of the page. Next, enter the type of registration. In most cases, it will be the adult registration. You ll be charged a registration fee of $25.00, but note that you can also set a goal for yourself as an individual (this is different from the team fundraising goal you created above) and decide if you want to make an additional gift to BCAN. You can also decide if you want your donation to be displayed publically.

4 Then, click the NEXT STEP button: On the next page you ll be asked to fill out your name and gender. (Note that all fields marked with a red asterisk * are required:

8 3. Register as an individual Registering as an individual is exactly the same as creating a team. The only difference is you ll skip the step where you are asked to name your team.
