Step Out to Fight Diabetes depends on volunteers like you to recruit sponsors, individual walkers and teams as well as organize the event and help it run smoothly! We need people to contribute their valuable time by serving in the following three areas:

Committee Leadership

Take charge of a group of volunteers to organize one key event area such as logistics, publicity or day-of-event activities. Utilize your personal and professional expertise to further our vital mission of "cure, care, and commitment."

Committee Members

Every leader needs talented troops to get the job done. Our committee chairpersons need your help with several route support functions such as communications, safety, and signage. We can also use your assistance in securing food donations, scouting the route, and planning the start and finish line set-up. With these and many more tasks, there's sure to be one that matches your interests, experience and talents.

Day of Event Volunteers

When the day our walkers have been waiting for finally arrives, there are many ways you can help as an integral part of the Step Out to Fight Diabetes team, including:

• Check-in Area Welcome the walkers, help check them in, distribute T-shirts, and get them moving in the right direction.
• Rest Stop Serve refreshments, offer assistance, and provide support to walkers.
• Finish Line Serve refreshments and cheer and greet walkers as they complete their day.
