Volunteer for a Cause

Volunteer for a Cause

We need volunteers to assist at this years Big House Big Heart. There is a ton of different ways you can be a part of this day:

Participate as a Runner/Walker - Teams have already begun to form. Three teams have already been started by Kit, Alison and Pam. To start your own team, go to http://bincfundraising.weebly.com/team-info.html and fill out the team form.

Help plan the gathering at the booth- This requires soliciting food donations, and merchandise for prizes (local restaurants or merchant gift cards). Have some time to give? Help is also needed at the booth. Fill out the volunteer form at http://bincfundraising.weebly.com/volunteer.html and we will contact you.

Solicit donations for the Foundation and recruit members to join our team! Donations can be made directly to the Binc at https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=49907 No longer in the area? Not much for morning runs? No problem! Help us raise funds and throw down a fundraising challenge of your own. (For example, maybe a $ donation for anyone who can complete the run in a certain time, or wearing rabbit ears) Contact us to share your challenge and we will get it on the website for all to see.

'''Post the fundraiser on Facebook and keep the postings going! '''Even if you will be unavailable to participate, please reach out to your network of former colleagues and make them aware of the event. The event will take up the morning. Last fall people were there until around 1 or 2pm, mostly chatting and visiting with folks that stopped by the booth.
