Volunteer Support Crew
Critical to the success any fundraising is the talent, high level of energy and dedication of the Support Crew. Without these amazing people, our proposed events simply would not and could not happen. We have been blessed to have such a wonderful group of people put their hands up (as volunteers) to help us achieve our goals.
