You would be a key part of our sustainability for the Playhouse! From logistics and planning to promoting our three largest annual fundraising events (5K Glow Run, Harvest Picnic, and Let's Kick Grass Kickball Tournament), you would be an essential part to keep our organization thriving. You would assist with obtaining sponsorships and items to be used for raffles. You would help organize and recruit interested volunteers to assist with set up, running aspects of the event, and clean up. We meet virtually via Microsoft Teams every other week to start, and then every week for the weeks leading up to events.
