Swing for CF Charity Golf Classic Volunteer Opportunity

Save to Favorites

What could make a Monday better? Spending your day at a beautiful golf course and helping out a great cause! You can do all of those things if you become a volunteer for our Swing for CF Charity Golf Classic on Monday, October 7th at The Ohio State University Golf Course - Gray.

Here's a little bit about us- Founded in 1955, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation was started by parents desperate to save their children’s lives. Their relentless and impassioned determination to prolong life has resulted in tremendous strides over the past 60 years in accelerating innovative research and drug development, as well as advancing care and advocacy. Virtually every approved cystic fibrosis drug therapy available now was made possible because of the Foundation and its supporters. Still, we believe no one should have to die at a young age. We will not rest until we have a cure for all people living with CF.

Now that you know us a little better, allow me to give you a brief overview of our Swing event-

Guests will join us on Monday, October 7th, 2019 at The Ohio State University Golf Course - Gray. Golfers will enjoy a delicious lunch followed by 18 holes of scramble style golf. A cocktail and hors d'oeuvres reception with unique and enticing live auction will follow.

Schedule of Events
Golfer Registration and Lunch: 11 AM
Golf Shotgun Start: 12 PM
Cocktail Reception: 4 PM

Our volunteer needs are as follows-

We would like volunteers to arrive at 10:00am. Those of you who can arrive at 9am and help with set-up would be much appreciated!

Registration/Check Out volunteers-
We need volunteers to help us with our registration process. We use computers for this and a simple system to check golfers in as well as make their payments. Any registration volunteers will receive a training on this system when they arrive on event date. With that being said, we usually have volunteers arrive a little earlier than the actual event start time. These volunteers must be proficient on a computer.

Greeters- volunteers to stand near the entrance and greet guests as they come in and direct them to the registration area.

Auction volunteers- volunteers to help monitor the silent auction items and be available for assistance. We use mobile bidding for this event and we need people to have an iPad (that we provide and is hooked up to our auction system) for people who don't have a cell phone to use if they want to bid on an item. These volunteers also make sure that the winners at the end of the event are the ones going home with the correct items.

Contest Hole volunteers- volunteers at assigned holes on the course where fun contests are set up to collect the tickets and run the contest from the golfers who wished to participate in the contest.

Floaters- we always have a need for volunteers that can fill in where they are needed, whether there was a cancellation or a long line develops. We always need a few volunteers on deck and ready to go.

Tear Down volunteers- ideally, everyone who was there for the day will help us with our quick tear down of the computers and registration bins and help load them into staff member's cars. We expect the event to end around 7pm and you are free to go once the cars are loaded!

So come spend your day at The Ohio State University Gray Course with us. This event is always fun and it's a perfect way to spend some of the last warm days of the season outside (weather permitting). You'll be in wonderful company and we hope to have you there! :)
