Frequently Asked Questions

CROP Walks and community hunger walks pull team-based congregations from across a city. Each church or community team typically fields 8 to 40 walkers. Custom team tees give the team a visual identity on the route, make team-level fundraising photos shareable, and at a $5 to $10 margin per shirt, push the team's fundraising thermometer higher. Here is the team-tee playbook.

Why Custom Team Tees Beat the Generic Event Tee

The walk's generic event tee is the same on every walker. It does not help a 30-walker congregation stand out in the team photo at the start line. A custom team tee in the church or community team color pulls the team together in every shot.

Team tees also push team fundraising. Donors who see a strong team photo on social give more to that team. A walk where every walker wears the same generic tee does not move the team thermometer the same way.

Color and Layout for the Team Tee

Body color: Team color (church liturgical color, community team identity color, or a cause color tied to the partner organization).
Front: Team name across the chest, walk name and year underneath.
Back: A line of meaning ("We walk so they eat.") or the team's fundraising goal.

Price the Tee to Fuel the Fundraising Thermometer

Set the team tee $5 to $10 above the base printed cost. Each walker pays for their own tee, and the margin flows to the team's fundraising total. A 25-walker team at a $7 margin clears an extra $175 toward the goal.

This stacks on top of the per-walker donation. The tee margin is "found money" the team would not otherwise have.

No Minimum on Small Teams

A first-year congregation team might field 8 walkers. The big urban church across town might field 200. The per-shirt cost is identical. No setup fees, no leftover sizes from over-ordering, no upfront cash from the team captain.
