Do you want to volunteer?

March of Dimes will require 30-35 volunteers to help with the event activities. Volunteers may be needed in other areas depending on event dynamics. Volunteers should be at least 21 years of age and should understand that they will need to be available, sober and dedicated for the entire duration of the event night activity in which they will be assigned to. March of Dimes will train and manage volunteers before the event. Training time will depend on the activity a volunteer is assigned to. March of Dimes will only conduct one training session so it is vital that all volunteers are prompt and on time. Volunteers should understand that their participation and commitment are critical to the success of the event. Volunteers that neglect or abandon their responsibilities will have a direct negative effect on the entire event and the revenue generated.
 
Volunteers should arrive at 5:00 pm. Training will begin at 5:15 pm. The evening is expected to conclude around 11:00 pm.
Upon arrival, volunteers should go to the Volunteer check in table at the entrance.

In 2019 we will present the inaugural Charlotte Price “sunshine” NICU nurse and March of Dimes Volunteer Excellence Award.  Charlotte’s mother, Stephanie, will serve on the 2019 committee and she and her husband Joseph will accept the inaugural “sunshine” volunteer award the evening of the event. We will also honor a NICU nurse from each hospital the evening of the event.
We will present these awards each year at the Signature Chefs Auction in loving memory of Charlotte Price, her brave battle and her incredible spirit.
