What does it take to put on an event for 60,000 people? It takes an army of volunteers! As you might guess, the volunteer work begins long before Race day. In fact, delivering the Susan G. Komen Denver Race for the Cure® is a year round volunteer effort.

Beginning right after the Komen Denver Race for the Cure, the volunteer Race chairs begin to identify key leadership volunteers for committee work. Approximately 50 dedicated, year round volunteers assume 25 committee chair and co-chair positions. If you are interested in a leadership role with the Race in 2011 please call our hotline at 303.242.3100.

But by far, the majority of volunteers help on Race weekend. Hundreds of volunteers are needed to do a variety of jobs…such as be expo and sponsor assistants, start and finish line assistants, course marshals, food chute assistants, and work the T-shirt and bib pick up…just to name a few. This is a perfect opportunity for volunteer groups, individuals needing volunteer hours, or if you just want to give back to the community.

Volunteering at the Race (Sunday, October 3) means you get to be part of an exciting and moving event that provides the opportunity to work alongside other members of our community who are just as committed to ending breast cancer forever as you are.

Please join the army of Race weekend volunteers; we can’t do it without you!
