The American Diabetes Association is looking for highly motivated volunteers for the 2016 Princeton Tour de Cure and Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes planning committee. This is a combined cycling and walking event. Next year, we will be celebrating the 25 th anniversary. We are looking for professionals who can offer up their talents in the areas of day of event logistics, volunteer recruitment, route logistics and business development.
Volunteer committee members are needed specifically for recruitment of volunteers, day of event logistics including food, rest stops, entertainment, etc. and route logistics to ensure safety of all riders on routes ranging from 13 to 100 miles.
The committee meets monthly for one hour but members can expect to spend around 3 hours a month in their specific role. For more information, please contact Laura Wertz at lwertz@diabetes.org

Description
Volunteer Power
The moving force behind our work is a network of more than one million volunteers nation wide, including a membership of 430,000 diabetes patients and their families, and a professional society of more than 18,000 physicians, scientists, certified diabetes educators, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, and educators.
In addition to our well know fund-raising events, the ADA provides learning sessions and information through a variety of community-based presentations and activities focused on reaching the diagnosed and those at high risk for diabetes. These free presentations include bi-lingual information on the importance of physical activity, making healthy food choices, food portion control and much more. Last year our outreach efforts reached several thousand people in the state of New Jersey alone. We couldn't have done this without the support from volunteers like you. Volunteering is rewarding and you can be assured that you have made a difference in someone's life.
