Hey everyone! Depending on how early we can get our club set up again for the Fall, the Walk for Hope to cure breast cancer will most likely be our club's first event of the year. I know it's a little early to announce volunteering events for the fall (school starts in 21 days!), but if you're definitely interested in participating in this event, please let me know ASAP so I can get a rough estimate back to the race directors.


This was our first event of the year last Fall, and the volunteers all had an awesome time working the booths, so don't miss your chance to help this awesome organization!

Walk for Hope is a fundraising event sponsored by City of Hope, an institution dedicated to education, treatment, and research of life-threatening illnesses, like Breast Cancer. The event will take place on Saturday, October 14 at Justin Herman Plaza (across from the Ferry Building) from 6am-11am.

Heads up for seniors: October 14 is also the date of the first SAT of the school year.

There are a variety of fun activities for volunteers at the Walk for Hope such as, setting up, helping register the walkers, working at the sponsor give-away booths, cheering on the participants at the finish line, handing out medals and more. Volunteers are needed from 6am to 11am, working a minimum of 3-hour shifts. All volunteers will be given a Walk for Hope t-shirt, a goody bag, and will be recognized in the event program for their support.

A three hour shift will be worth three volunteering credits, and for every hour you work beyond the minimum, you'll get an extra volunteering credit. Our shift will start at 6AM, so you can get up to six volunteering credits at this event if you work until 11AM.

I'll have more details available once we start meetings again and we get closer to the date of the event, so please watch out for that!
