Support an employee by donating on behalf of a walker or by providing a corporate matching gift
Is an employee at your company registered for Walk & Wag? If so, you can help them reach their fundraising goal by finding their personal fundraising page and making a donation. It’s a great way to show that you support your employees and their efforts to find responsible, loving homes for rescue pets.
We also encourage walkers to ask their company if they have a matching gift program. A company will sometimes match a gift when an employee makes a donation. Matching gifts can make a huge impact in fundraising totals and is a great way for companies to support their employees.

Form a team
Forming a team is easy! It’s also a wonderful way to build team morale and work together to do something positive. Corporate teams are increasingly important, especially when so many employees are working from home.
Step 1: Recruit your Team Members
- Teams should consist of four or more members.
- Ask potential team members to register by emailing them the link to register as soon as you have created your team page.
- Ask family and friends who share a love for saving homeless animals!
- Involve your company and employer. Ask your co-workers to join your team and invite your boss to engage your company.
Step 2: Tips for Team Captains
- Set a team goal of at least $500 and help individual team members set goals.
- Be sure to ask your team members about their workplace matching gift programs.
- Make sure all of your team members are aware of the fundraising prize levels to help keep them motivated.
- Inspire and encourage your walkers from the day they sign up until your Walk.
- Share your passion for rescuing animals, your love for pets, and your enthusiasm to raise funds for an important cause.
- Highlight your team’s progress through email alerts, community or company newsletters, your Facebook group, or memos to employees and managers.
- Make it a challenge to see who can raise the most by your Walk date — everyone loves a little friendly competition.
Step 3: After Your Walk is Over
- Congratulate your team for fundraising and taking part in Walk & Wag.
- Thank all of your team members and donors for their support and dedication to saving lives.
- Celebrate your team’s accomplishments — you can acknowledge your top fundraiser, the team member with the most festive attire, etc.
