Feel free to sign up for multiple shifts or duties. Parents, family members, and friends of team participants make incredible volunteers, and your involvement makes a big difference.

As a thank-you, all volunteers will receive free food and an event T-shirt!

We're organizing volunteer sign-ups through the Google Form linked below. If you're connected to a team, please indicate your connection on the form so we can assign roles appropriately.
