Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Meetings begin Fall of 2013
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
We are recruiting for our planning committee for our Great Strides Albuquerque 5K walk for 2014. We need volunteers in the following areas.
Mass Market Chair: Works closely with a staff member to develop and implement a mass market recruitment plan that is focused on acquiring new business, using brochure distribution, donated media (TV, radio, newspaper) and field (attending to group cycling rides to promote the event, presenting at bike clubs, etc.)
Public Relations Chair: Builds and executes a public relations plan and develops press release templates. Distributes press releases that address recruitment, volunteer requests and recognition of sponsors, event participants and volunteers. Also establishes messages and press releases that address crisis situations. Creates and distributes the charity’s event media kits. Works closely with media representatives that attend the event.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
Great Strides is our biggest fundraiser. Ninety cents of every dollar goes to research for finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
