We are very excited to announce that Make-A-Wish is once again the charity partner of the 5K Foam Fest, a foam-filled fun obstacle course that runs over 5km, and we're looking for volunteers to support this amazing fundraising event!
Our partnership involves Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers running the bag and gear check-in tent where participants can leave their personal belongings during the race in return for a $5 donation to Make-A-Wish. Volunteer duties include bag checking and cash handling.
This is a huge event for Make-A-Wish each year and we hope this year will be even better!
Full training will be provided on the day and no experience is necessary. It's a really fun experience and the best part is that you can participate in the event for free after your shift or at a future event (if you wish)! Please note that if you help with the all-day or afternoon shift, you will be given 1 ticket to participate in a future event. If you volunteer for the morning shift, you will receive 1 free run with the last wave of runners upon completion of your shift or 1 free ticket to a future event.
There are events across Australia including the below event west of Central Coast:
Glenworth Valley - Saturday 6th December at Glenworth Valley Wilderness Adventures, 69 Cooks Road, Glenworth Valley NSW.
Volunteer shifts available:
Morning: 7:00 am to 12:00 pm
Afternoon: 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
All day: 7:00 am to 4:00 pm
Please note that all volunteers for this Foam Fest must be aged 18 years or older, and you will be sent a short application form after submitting your enquiry.
