Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising activity. It is an overnight, team event where each community comes together for one day and one night to honor cancer survivors and their caregivers, to remember those we have lost, and to fight back against a disease that takes too much from too many. Teams of approximately 8-15 people commit to raising $100 each and take turns walking or running relay-style for 24 hours. We are currently seeking volunteer to help with the planning and implementation of our 2014 event in Redwood City.
Relay For Life of Redwood City needs Volunteers to Help with Entertainment & Activities & Ceremonies. Responsibilities include:
- · Retain and recruit committee volunteers to help with entertainment, activities, and ceremonies.
- · Collaborate with Co-Chair to plan and set goals for entertainment, activities, and ceremonies.
- · Be an expert on entertainment, activities, and ceremonies materials/resources.
- · Plan and implement a master entertainment and activities schedule that appeals to all participants and that offers opportunities for participants to engage in the Society’s guidelines for physical activity.
- · Leverage kick-offs, team meetings/rallies, fundraising workshops, bank nights, wrap-ups as opportunities to educate Relayers about event entertainment, activities, and ceremonies, and enlist their help to make the event more personal for teams.
- · Collaborate with the Survivor & Caregiver, Mission, Advocacy, and Luminaria Chairs to plan powerful 'Celebrate’, 'Remember’, and 'Fight Back’ ceremonies that are brief, logistically simple, respectful, and emotional.
- · Ensure that all other committee volunteers are considering entertainment, activities, and ceremonies integration in their plans.
- Ensure that all entertainment, activities, and ceremonies volunteers/contacts know how much they are appreciated.
