Event Volunteers
• This is a great event, but we need lots of help to make it happen. We’d truly appreciate your help. You can view available opportunities and sign up HERE
Food Donations / Support
• We are looking to offer some food options to our participants. Do you have product to donate, the ability to help us cater the event, or own a food truck? We’d love to hear from you!
Event Day Entertainment
• We enjoy gathering after the event to share memories of Chris and would love to have some entertainment. Could you provide your band’s services, DJ, or perhaps offer balloon animals or face painting?
Connections to Potential Sponsors
• Maybe you can help us grow our network and connect to some new local businesses. Let us take you for a coffee so we can chat and help A Run for Chris raise more for St. Joe’s!
