Volunteer Opportunities

The countdown to the second annual Walk for the Angels Walk-A-Thon has begun and it takes the time and talent of many people to make this event a success.  There are many ways to help make this the best Walk-A-Thon ever.  Some of the jobs are big, some small, some are done before the event, some during and some after, and some can be done at your convenience - but all are critical to a successful Walk-A-Thon.

Awards:   This committee will purchase and distribute all category awards won at the Walk-A-Thon.  

Drawing Organizer:   This committee organizes the drawings held on Walk-A-Thon day and needs volunteers to help the contents of the baskets, their production and selling tickets on Walk-A-Thon Day.  

Face Painting:   Anyone experienced in face painting we need your handy work.  

First Aid:   This committee provides first-aid support for our walkers -- sometimes a bandage and some ice go a long way on Walk-A-Thon Day. Volunteers are needed to help set up and staff the station during Walk-A-Thon.  

Food:   This committee helps setup the food court and distribute lunches to all participants of the Walk-A-Thon.  Set up begins at 8:00 am the morning of the walk.

Historian:   This committee takes pictures of Walk-A-Thon in order to capture the day.   Volunteers are needed to help in this effort.  

MC:   Are you quick on your feet? Do you enjoy motivating people?  The MC's keep things hopping on Walk-A-Thon Day.  Kids love to hear their name announced and if you'd like to help, come on down!  

Music:   We are looking for a DJ that loves to boogey.   A fun job for the music enthusiast!  

Odd Jobs (as needed):   Volunteers are needed to handle odd jobs that come up before during and after Walk-A-Thon.  If you'd like to help, but would rather be on an as-needed basis, this is the job for you.  

Prize Solicitations:   This committee needs volunteers to seek out donations from local companies.  

Route Setup:  If you're good with getting up early in the morning then this is a fit for you.   This committee needs volunteers to help set up and clean up the Walk-A-Thon Route. Anyone interested in this job will need to report to the park at 8:00 a.m. that morning.

Recycling:   Are you environmentally conscious?  This committee needs volunteers to help organize all recycling efforts related to Walk-A-Thon and truly makes a difference.  

Registration:   Registration is the first place people will go on Walk-A-Thon morning. This committee needs volunteers to help staff the registration tables Walk-A-Thon Day.  Some set up is involved Walk-A-Thon morning.

Set Up/Clean Up:   Volunteers are needed to help set-up before and clean up after the event.  Set-up begins on the Friday evening before Walk-A-Thon (about an hour) with most of the work being done early Walk-A-Thon morning.  If you are an early riser who likes to get things done, this would be a good fit.  Clean up occurs immediately after Walk-A-Thon and requires a couple of hours. 

Signs/Banners:   If you are good with glue and paper, or you've got a banner program on your PC, we've got a job for you!  

Sound System:   This committee needs volunteers to provide, set-up and take down the sound equipment needed to support the Walk-A-Thon.  You will be working with the MC's   a great fit for those who like to make things work!  

Spotters/Water Squirters:   This committee needs volunteers to spray water on people at Walk-A-Thon. We'll show you the ropes of getting folks cooled off!  

T-Shirts:   This committee needs volunteers to help sort, package and label T-shirts in preparation of Walk-A-Thon.  

Thank You's:   This committee needs volunteers who will help coordinate and send out the Thank You's to all our sponsors.  This is done after Walk-A-Thon. in late October.  

Water Station:   This committee needs volunteers to staff the water station and keep all those walkers hydrated. Some set up involved early Walk-A-Thon morning.
