Greetings Everyone!
This is a second request for everyone who would like to volunteer and have not responded back to me. We currently have about 15 people signed up to help out.
We have continually put on this fantastic event with by the time and dedication of our volunteers. So this year, I would like everyone who is volunteering to bring a buddy as part of the Terry Fox Volunteer Buddy program. It is very simple – bring a family member, friend, significant other, colleague or favorite mayoral candidate that is running (or not – I hear the Anthony Weiner has some times on his hands) to help volunteering at the event. There are no special prizes but you should get a warm fuzzy feeling for helping to make this event special for all the participants.
As always, we only need you for a couple of hours and you can still participate in the run.
Please send an email to [address removed], Subject: 2013 NYC Terry Fox Run, along with your name, address, phone number and email address and preferred duty. You can call also call me at (914)[masked].
Duties include:
1) Registering of runners (both participants who are pre-registered and need to register)
2) Handing out T-shirts
3) Marshaling
4) General Information
5) Finish Line
6) Security/Baggage
The bulk of the volunteers are really needed to help with the large influx of people registering at the start of the race, usually from about 8:30AM to 9:20 AM. We need about 12 people to help with the registering and handing out of T-shirts. If you are planning on participating in the race, this is the perfect place to help volunteer. We also need to help from about eight (8) people with our baggage area.
We need more people to help with marshaling along the course (bring your cell phone, iPhone, Blackberry Droid or other smartphone to stay in contact with the start/finish area and for emergency purposes) and to help with directing people to the registration area and answering general information questions before the run starts.
