Team Benefits

There are more benefits to being on a Bike MS team than we can name, but the long and short of it is — teams just make Bike MS more fun! From making memories training together to enjoying snacks together at the rest stop, team members have a great time.

Teams are also fundraising powerhouses, raising 85% of the funds at Bike MS. In addition to the great camaraderie and serious fundraising, being part of a team also makes you eligible for contests throughout the year as well as team awards at the end of the season. Making memories together while making a difference — it’s a win-win!

Team Types

Teams participate in Bike MS in 1 of 3 ways…

Pro tip: "Bike MS provides an opportunity for coworkers and customers to spend time together face-to-face. My favorite part is meeting people I never would otherwise. We invite staff members, customers and friends or family to participate on Team IBERIABANK. It's a great way to network and build camaraderie—great benefits—while making a powerful impact on our communities."

- Burt Chandler, Team Captain

Friends and Family

Anyone can join your team! Family members, friends, friends of friends or even neighbors. Bike MS makes a great reunion so feel free to extend invites far and wide!

Corporate

Corporate teams are connected to a company and are usually made up of employees and their friends and family. Bike MS is a wonderful way to boost morale and get your co-workers away from their desks (or their home office), united in a common goal. It’s also a great team building opportunity, see what we did there?

National

Have corporate fundraising teams located in 4 or more markets? You could be a National Team! National teams are provided with a dedicated Society corporate liaison, webpage and a suite of resources and tools to help maximize fundraising results. With teams like Starbucks, Salesforce & Friends, and UPS, you know you’re in good company. Check out our current National Teams. Want to join them? Contact us to learn how to get started!

Team Captains

Someone has to be the leader, and it might as well be you! Recruiter, cheerleader, organizer – team captains wear many hats. But we’re the ace up your jersey. We’ve got tons of resources and your Bike MS staff partner will be with you every step of the way.

Start a Team and rally your friends, family and colleagues to join you. Invite everyone you know – and think outside the box. With a variety of route options and incredible support, you never know who might say yes!

Not sure you’re up for being the captain just yet? Ask a friend to start a team or join an existing one.

Pro tip: "We sell space on our jerseys to area businesses - it helps cover the cost of our jerseys so our team members can focus on fundraising and any extra just goes toward our team fundraising."

- Trent Parks, Team Captain

Team Jerseys

We know you want to look the part! Team jerseys are a great way to promote why your team is participating in Bike MS. Add a corporate logo or even use as your own fundraising incentive!
