Team Captains
Your Team Captain will be responsible for setting up your team name and password during their registration process. The Team Captain will be responsible for choosing the teams volunteer option. If the team captain chooses to supply their own volunteers there will be no additional fees. If the Team Captain decides to make a non-profit donation to supply volunteers, an invoice will be emailed to the Team Captain through Stripe to pay their tax-deductible donation via CC or you can mail in a check/money order to Windsor Gives. The Team Captain will be the only teammate responsible for choosing the volunteer option during their registration.
The Team Captain at the conclusion of their registration and setting up their team will pay in full for the entire teams relay entry fee.The Team Captain will receive their registration confirmation email with important information and volunteer payment option information.
