    Description

    The Susan G. Komen Houston Race for the Cure is made possible by an amazing team of volunteers who help make this event a success. Our event day volunteers are individuals who are passionate about the fight against breast cancer and want to lend a hand to help us make the Race a success from start to finish! There are many ways to get involved at this year’s Race and ensure it’s a day to remember!

    Ways to Get Involved:

    • Can you help us the weeks before the Race? Volunteer at a Packet Pick-up!
    • Set up the site before the event
    • Man various event tents: Hope Village, VIP, Mission We Remember, etc.
    • Monitor the course or distribute water to runners

    Multiple shifts available. Great opportunity for groups (families, school clubs, churches, companies, etc.) Ending breast cancer needs all of us!
