MitoAction is so excited to be back in person for the 18th annual Energy Walk in Boston! For our second year, we will be at the Franklin Park Zoo where attendees will enjoy the animals and Boston Lights display. We look forward to welcoming the Boston community, patients, families, caregivers and more, to raise awareness and vital funds to support families affected by mitochondrial disease.
We are looking for volunteers to help our team with the following activities:
1) 6:00 am - 7:30 am - Setup (6 volunteers)
2) 6:00 am - 8:00 am - Registration (6 volunteers)
3) 8:30 am - 11:00 am - Kids craft activities (2 volunteers)
4) 8:30 am - 10:00 am - Takedown - signage (2 volunteers)
5) 10:45 am - 11:45 am - Event takedown (6 volunteers)
We prefer individuals who are fully vaccinated as some of our attendees will be immune compromised. Masks will be suggested when in close proximity. Volunteers will have all-day access to the Franklin Park Zoo when they finish their shift.
