Buddy Walk Team Names FAQ

How do we pick a Buddy Walk team name?

Many teams pick an upbeat name, like Designer Genes or Lucky Buddies. Pick one the whole team, and your buddy, will love.

Can we add the name of the person we’re walking for?

Yes. Put the team name on the front and “Walking for” plus their name, or a photo, on the back.

When should we order walk shirts?

Order a few weeks before the walk. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
