Can the 100 Hole Hike be fundraised as a team of Hikers?

Hikers can choose to register and fundraise individually or they can create a team of friends and fundraise together.

Yes. You can register and fundraise individually or as a team. When you form a team, every donation to any team member (or to the team page) rolls up to the shared team goal. Your team goal equals the per‑Hiker minimum for your site multiplied by the number of Hikers on your team (e.g., Hike team of 4 at a site with $1,000 minimum → $4,000).

Overview

Want to go farther together? The 100 Hole Hike supports team fundraising so friends, coworkers, and partner groups can combine networks and momentum. Register as a team, set a shared goal, and watch individual gifts flow into one total that supports Youth on Course.

This article speaks to: first‑time and returning hikers, team captains, corporate/community groups, and supporters.

Who This Is For

  • Friends & families who want to split the challenge and fundraise together.
  • Corporate & community teams building a cause‑driven group experience.
  • Captains coordinating goals, roles, and outreach.

Why People Choose Youth on Course

  • Bigger reach, bigger impact: Team fundraising taps multiple networks to fuel $5‑or‑less rounds, internships, and college scholarships for young people.
  • Flexible formats: Hike solo, even split, relay, or tag‑in/tag‑out—the fundraising still rolls up to the team.
  • Built‑in motivation: Shared milestones, friendly challenges, and matching gifts keep momentum high.

How It Works

  1. Choose your path: individual or team
    • Register solo or create/join a team during sign‑up.
  2. Set the team goal
    • Team Goal = Site Per‑Hiker Minimum × Number of Team Members.
    • Example: Hike team of 4 at a site with $1,000 minimum → $4,000
  3. Fundraising flows to one total
    • All donations made to any team member or the team page count toward the shared team goal.
  4. Pick your playing format
    • Even split, relay, or tag‑in/tag‑out—choose what fits your group. (Playing format doesn’t change how funds roll up.)
  5. Use momentum boosters
    • Encourage employer matches and pledges (optional) after donors give.
    • Add a Custom Thank You in the app to invite pledge opt‑ins.

When to Get Involved

  • You’re organizing a friends/family or corporate team.
  • You want to combine networks to reach a higher impact tier.
  • You’re setting roles (captain, communications lead, sponsorship lead).

Helpful Tips

  • Name a captain and agree on your public team goal and story.
  • Divide outreach (each member lists 25 prospects to contact this week).
  • Post short updates (progress bar + photo) 2–3×/week; thank donors publicly.
  • Ask about matching gifts and share quick pledge prompts.
