Enter your team name here.
If this is a corporate/company
team, select Corporate Team
Otherwise, select Friends and
Family Team from the dropdown menu.
Update your team fundraising
goal. We recommend a starting
goal of $500 per team. For
larger teams, consider a goal of
$100 per team member (for a
10-person team, set your goal
at $1,000).
TIP: Remember to update your
team goal when you get close
to reaching it. That way donor
will continue to give.
If you want to join an existing
team or you would rather sign
up as an individual walker, click
the appropriate link here.
If you were the Team Captain of a 2013 Moving Day Atlanta team, simply sign in to reactivate
your team from last year. Email [email protected] if you need assistance.

Moving Day Registration – Part 2
Your Personal Fundraising Page
So you registered yourself and your team for Moving Day. Now what?
Take a look at that email you received when you registered:
Click on the Participant Center link.
The NPF website will ask you for your
Moving Day User Name and Password.
Click Submit.
If, by chance, you don’t have access to that email, you can always go to www.movingdayatlanta.org
and enter your username and password here:
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 11
So here’s your Participant Fundraising Center. This is your PERSONAL Fundraising Center,
not the TEAM page.
Let’s go over the HOME screen:
If you made a donation
upon registering it will
show up here. Any
additional donations you
receive will also show up on
your Progress Bar.
Important links
here!
Create a team
message here
Take a look at these links to
learn more about the Prize
Incentive Program.
Customize a Team T-Shirt
at the NPF Team Store.
There’s a lot of information on the Home page, please take a few minutes to read through it all. Ready
to move on? Okay, let’s start by editing your Personal Fundraising Page.
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 12
You can either click here on Personal Page or over here on Edit Personal Page.
Now you’re able to edit your Personal Fundraising Page.
Step One: Select an easy URL. Click on URL Settings.
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 13
Your name is a good way to customize your URL. Enter it here (no spaces) — this should NOT be your
team name as this is your Personal Fundraising page. You can set whether your personal page is
private or public here. (We recommend you keep it public so potential donors can easily find you by
searching the website.)
Hit Save, then your screen should look like this:
Copy your new URL down someplace where you’ll remember it. This is an easy way to send people to
your Personal Fundraising Page.
Now, let’s continue editing your Personal Fundraising Page.
You can change the title and all the
accompanying text. Talk about why
you are doing this walk. Is there
someone in particular in your life
with PD?
TIP: Type your message out and
save it to your computer. That way
if something happens and this
doesn’t save, you won’t lose what
you’ve written.
Don’t forget to click SAVE when
you’re done.
If you want to see your Personal Fundraising Page after making your changes you can either click on
the View Personal Page (up there at the top where it says Edit Your Personal Fundraising
Page) or you can type in your custom URL that we created in the last step.
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 14
Let’s make your Personal Fundraising Page a bit more personal by adding a photo and/or video. Click
on Photos/Videos over on the right side of your screen.
If you want to upload a photo, click the button next to Photo (for video, click Video). Then, choose a
file from your computer to upload (smaller is better). Add a caption if you want, then click
Save/Upload.
Once it’s uploaded you can view your live page by clicking on Content. And then the View Personal
Page (up there at the top where it says Edit Your Personal Fundraising Page) or you can type
the custom URL that you created into your Web browser.
Either way, you’ll have a page that looks similar to this:
Your new text shows
up here.

Do you want to add a personal blog to your Personal Fundraising Page? If so, click on Personal
Blog, then check the box next to Enable Personal Blog (don’t forget to hit Save).
To create a blog post, go to your live Personal Fundraising Page (use that custom URL), then click on
Post a New Topic.
Enter a Subject and Message.
Enter the code then click Post Your Topic.
And now your post is live, just go back to your Personal Fundraising Page
to view it.

The Team Page
We’ve customized your Personal Fundraising Page. Now let’s move on to the Team Page. You, as
Team Captain, are the only person with access to your Team Page.
Click on Team Page to get started.
Remember how we created a custom (easy) URL for your Personal Fundraising Page? Let’s do the
same thing for your team. Click URL Settings, then just enter your team name into the box and click
Save.
Keep these two lines of text,
but add your own explaining
what your team is about, who
you’re walking for, etc.
TIP: Again, save your
personal message to your
computer. That way if it
doesn’t save here, you won’t
lose what you’ve written.
You can upload a photo
here. Don’t forget to
click Save/Upload.
Click Save when finished.

If you want to see your live Team Fundraising Page after making your changes you can either click on
the View Team Page (up there at the top where it says Edit Your Team Fundraising Page) or
you can type your custom team URL into your Web browser.
Your live Team Fundraising Page should look something like this:
The text you added is here.

track of your team’s
fundraising total.

Registering Team Members
So you’ve created your Personal Fundraising Page and your Team Fundraising Page. Now it’s time to
get friends/family/coworkers to register as walkers on your team. The easiest way for them to register
is for you to send them an email with the registration link. You can send an email through your email
client of choice (Outlook, Gmail, etc) or you can send emails directly through our software.
Here we are at your home screen. To send an email, click on Email at the top, or Send Email over

Add the email addresses
here. You can import
contacts from your
computer into the
address book in the
Contacts section, too.
Add a personal message
(or click on Use a
template and select the
“Recruiting” template).
Be sure to include your
Team Fundraising Page
custom URL! The
recipient can then use
that URL to get
registered.
Or, select from one of

Moving Day Registration – Part 5
Soliciting/Entering Donations
Once you have your fundraising pages set up, it’s time to start soliciting donations. Remember that
email you received when you registered — the one titled “Asking for Your Support”?
The easiest way to send emails to your friends/family/coworkers to solicit donations is
to forward this email (be sure to delete the few lines at the top that pertain to you). It has information
about the event and provides a direct link to your Personal Fundraising Page.
On your Personal
Fundraising Page, have
your friends click here
to donate to you!
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 22
You can also send emails via your Personal Fundraising Page as shown on page 19.
If you know people who don’t use a computer, or don’t feel comfortable making an online donation
you can collect cash or checks.
Please make checks payable to:
National Parkinson Foundation
(And make sure checks include a note in the memo line so we know which fundraising account to
credit the funds to: “Moving Day Atlanta-[your name or team name].”)
If you receive offline donations such as cash or checks, you can enter them into your account via your
Participant Center. Once you enter them, they will show up on your thermometer immediately.
So, from your Participant Center home page, click on Enter New Gift on the right side.
Click on Enter New Gift
Fill in the information about the donation
you received and click Add or Save and Add
Another if you have multiple donations to
enter.
MD ATL 2014 – How to Register and Manage a Team
Page 23
The following screen shows up which is your PROGRESS Page (see that Progress tab at the top?).
You can change between
your Personal Progress
Page and your Team
Progress Page here.
See how that offline donation you just entered now appears on your Progress Bar? All of your
donations are listed at the bottom of the page.
You can also download a personal donation list. This is a .csv file that you can open in Excel which
shows all your donations and the contact info for each donor (perfect if you want to handwrite “thank
you” notes).
Once you have entered your checks into your Participant Center, please mail them to:
National Parkinson Foundation
Attn: Moving Day Atlanta
200 SE 1st Street, Suite 800
Miami, FL 33131
Please include a note with any donations sent into the office to let us know the team
name or the name of the walker to whom the donation should be credited.
We do not recommend you mail cash donations. Please consider mailing a personal check to cover
any cash donations you receive. Alternatively, you can turn in your Moving Day cash donations on the
day of the event.
