Volunteer

We're currently looking for committee members and day-of-event volunteers to help with the 2012 event. Keep reading...

If giving a few hours of your day had the potential to give years to someone else’s life – would you do it?

Over the past two years, more than 400 people have said yes. A simple word, yes. But one that’s had a profound effect. Over $215,000 raised and put back into the local cancer community. And last year, one very special yes made a life-saving bone marrow match.

This year, we invite you to say yes.

To run Step Up for Cancer successfully, we will need 200 volunteers. Volunteer shifts start at 6:00am and end around 11:30am unless otherwise noted below. Following your shift, you’re welcome to take to the stairs and Step Up yourself!

Upon your arrival, you’ll be provided with a volunteer T-shirt and we ask that you wear black or khaki on the bottom. Water is available on the course and snacks are available for volunteers at the registration area.

Please complete the form below and include your top three areas of interest. A volunteer coordinator will contact you approximately two weeks before the event with information on your assigned position.

All volunteers are asked to help clean up at the end of their shift.

All of us at Step Up for Cancer thank you for your support – we could not do this event without you!
