Volunteering
A great
way to participate in WAM events is by volunteering your time. Event days
can be very hectic, but also incredibly rewarding. Event
promoters and amateur athletes alike know that without volunteers,
an event cannot
succeed.
Volunteers are currently being recruited to encourage participants from the side
of the course, hand them water and supplies as they pass by and thank them
for their efforts. Only happy, bubbly, people lovers should apply! ;-)
Each volunteer will receive a WAM Events staff shirt as well as
discounted entries to future WAM Events.
Why does our Executive Director feel so strongly about volunteers?
“When I participated in my first athletic event, a 100 mile bike
ride in West Palm Beach for the Leukemia Society, I remember “hitting the
wall”. At mile 73, when I was just about the last cyclist on the course,
I found myself depleted of energy and emotionally distraught. I didn’t think
I could finish. Each SAG stop I passed was closing because the faster, stronger
athletes ahead of me had depleted their supply of food and water. Without
knowing, one of the volunteers borrowed a car, drove to the store and caught
up with me on the course. From the window of the car, she handed a banana,
bottle of sports drink and a bagel to me to keep me going. The medal I received
when I crossed the finish line that day, hangs in my office and is a constant
reminder of what we can accomplish when people support and encourage us.”
Contact WAM Events today to help change people’s lives.
