Join an Event Planning Committee

Creative and committed people are needed to help on our many event committees. If you like sharing ideas and can translate them into action, this is the place for you!








Past Volunteer Experience with the Friends:

Event Committees:
The Prouty:












infoCorporate Sponsorship
Responsible for soliciting local businesses to sponsor the Prouty. Sponsorship levels are defined and based on tier levels (valuable marketing opportunities define each level of sponsorship). If you have a way with people, we can use you, here!
infoFood Committee
Join this committee to help obtain and organize in-kind donations, their distribution on event day, and to coordinate the event BBQ. If you love organizing big (!) parties — you're perfect for this committee!
infoDecorations
This committee is responsible for decorating tents, tent placement, and overall "look" at event site — if you have an eye for logistics, this committee's for you!
infoEntertainment
Responsible for coordinating and arranging entertainment on event day — we need kids activities, musical groups, any kind of engaging background entertainment to add to the fun of the day.
infoIncentives
This committee researches incentives that will motivate Prouty participants to raise additional money for cancer research. If you enjoy strategizing as well as researching products available through local companies and on the web then this committee could be for you!
infoParticipation
Increasing participation of bikers and walkers are the charges of these two committees. The committees work separately, but the goal is much the same — to increase overall Prouty participation. If you have insight into how we can expand awareness and participation in the Prouty we could use you!
infoPublic Relations
Responsible for publicizing the event, including contacting your local papers, thinking up article ideas featuring neat stories about our participants, scripting and producing Public Service Announcements, and distributing press releases and advertisements. If you're good at getting the word out, we want you!
infoSignage
No matter where you live or work, volunteers are needed to help distribute posters, brochures and lawn signs throughout the Upper Valley. If you think your area would support the Prouty, give us a call!
infoSafety
Safety of our riders/walkers is our first responsibility. We use ham operators, street route painters, sign putter-uppers and van drivers throughout the day to keep our participants safe. We also liaison with local law enforcement to ensure safety measures are met. Anyone with a hankering for safety measures, should volunteer for this committee!
infoRegistration
There would be no event without people helping register participants. Train for an hour on Thursday and help man the tables on Friday July 7th and Saturday July 8th. It's great fun to meet the individuals, families and teams as they head out on their respective rides/walks. This committee is key — and it's fun!
infoSAG Stops
Eleven SAG stops are placed strategically throughout the bike and walk routes as bikers ride through the Upper Valley. Help coordinate food and refreshments for the Prouty participants. This year SAG stops will boast costumes and themes to keep the riders' energy at its peak. Help make a real difference in someone's ride — volunteer to work a SAG stop!
