VOLUNTEER
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN VOLUNTEERING FOR THE 2010 FLORIDA BRAIN CANCER WALK. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE FILLED ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEER SLOTS, BUT WE INVITE YOU TO STILL COME OUT AND ENJOY THE EVENT AS A PARTICIPANT OR SPECTATOR!
Volunteers make a difference!
With your help, the Florida Brain Cancer Walk will no doubt become one of the most successful races in the South Florida area! In this very first year it is so important to have dedicated volunteers that will help us not only in the planning stages of the event, but also in helping out on Walk Day.
We can’t do this without you and look forward to adding you to our passionate team!

Volunteer Opportunities Prior Walk Day
Planning Committee
Leading up to Walk Day it is important to have a dedicated group of volunteers to serve on the Planning Committee. These volunteers will help us with team recruitment, participant communications, solicitation of donated items for Walk Day, and promotion of the event throughout the local area through brochure and poster distribution. The time commitment associated with participating on this committee can be as large or small as you are comfortable with. The important thing is that you are dedicated to help the Florida Brain Tumor Walk succeed and that you will give your all to the tasks you take on.
