On Saturday, May 3, hundreds of lung health advocates will come together in Baldwin Park and turn small steps into bold strides toward a world free of lung cancer and lung disease. They'll complete a 5K route around the beautiful Lake Baldwin and celebrate their fundraising efforts that funds lifesaving research, early detection initiatives, and awareness outreach to vulnerable communities.

In order to ensure a smooth and successful 5K, we depend on our community's incredible volunteer base. Can we count you in?

Volunteers tasks will be assigned as the 5K approaches. Responsibilities may include:

  • Set up & tear down
  • Customer service & registration
  • Route monitors & cheer leaders
  • Food & beverage distribution
  • and more.

Volunteers will be given a t-shirt and refreshments during their shift.
