Firm Champion & Team Captain Guide: How to Lead Your Team to Victory
Thank you for taking on the role of Firm Champion or Team Captain for your firm or organization in the 15th Annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy. Every dollar you raise directly supports your local Feeding Georgia member food bank. Here are your responsibilities as a captain:
1. Gain approval from your organization's leadership or Managing Partner(s) to potentially match the donations raised by your team.
2. Build momentum for your fundraiser by sharing your team page with colleagues, family, friends, and clients. Let them know your team is fundraising online for the food bank between April 20 and May 1, 2026.
- Host a kickoff happy hour or luncheon to encourage team participation, and spread the word at in-person events like bar association meetings and conferences.
- Create and print a QR code linked to your team page. Post it around the office and share it at in-person events.
- Remind colleagues and clients to donate through newsletters, podcasts, and a simple graphic before every Zoom meeting — reuse the QR code here.
3. Use social media to announce your team's participation in the 15th Annual Legal Food Frenzy and encourage others in Georgia's legal community to join. Every past Legal Food Frenzy winner has one thing in common: they promote their online fundraiser on social media frequently.
- Share the provided graphics to attract more participants.
- Use hashtags #GALFF and #LSLFF on social posts, and tag local firms and legal organizations to increase visibility.
- Follow Feeding Georgia on Facebook and LinkedIn for live updates throughout the competition.
4. Set up your team's fundraising page before April 20, 2026. Detailed instructions will be provided at the captain informational meeting. If you can't attend, we'll send a recording and notes so you don't miss anything.
5. Register by April 1 to hit the Early Bird deadline and earn 100 bonus points.
6. Sign up your firm for a group volunteer shift at your local food bank before April 26, 2026 to earn an additional 500 bonus points.
7. Remind your team about Attorney General Carr's Billable Hour Challenge — join the Billable Hour Club by donating the equivalent of at least one billable hour during the competition.

VIP Program
WHO CAN BECOME A VIP?
ANYONE! Whoever makes a major donation or matches donations up to $500 or more will be recognized as a Legal Food Frenzy VIP based on the levels listed below. You could even have multiple VIPs from your team. This includes:
- Your firm or company (we can look up if you already have a matching program in place!)
- A managing partner or employee
- A client
- An outside company, group, or individual
VIP LEVELS
| Platinum $10,000+ | Gold $5,000+ | Silver $2,500+ |
| Bronze $1,000+ | Copper $500+ |
HOW MATCHING WORKS
While anyone can simply make a major donation and be recognized as a VIP, we encourage you to increase employee engagement by offering to "match donations." Here are examples:
- Matching Ratios. The matcher can “DOUBLE DONATIONS” by pledging to donate $1 for every $1 raised during the competition or TRIPLE donations by donating $2 for every $1 raised. They can also do a .5 = 1 ratio, 50 cents for every $1 raised, and so on.
- You can apply a maximum to matching. The matcher can pledge to match up to $1,000 in donations or $5,000 in donations, etc.
- Limit matching to a specific day. The matcher could pledge to match all donations on the first day of the competition or the final day.
- Have an idea? Let us know! We are open to creative matching ideas that will increase your impact.
WHY MATCH?
- Increase your ability to fight hunger! This will increase employee buy-in! Studies show that mentioning matching has led to a 51% increase in donations from individuals. Every match can double or triple the number of meals the food banks can distribute with your donations.
- Get an edge in the competition! The matching contribution will count towards your firm or organization’s Legal Food Frenzy point total, so you will be much more competitive!
- Get extra recognition! This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your brand and gain recognition at your local food bank.
