9th Annual Get In Gear Fest Volunteer Sign up Form
Volunteers are an integral part of Get In Gear Fest by the Outdoor Business Alliance of WNC. Volunteering at the Get In Gear Fest is a fun and rewarding way to support the outdoor community and economy in our region. Volunteers are needed on Saturday, May 4th at a variety of times ranging from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. All positions are scheduled for 2 hours. Most positions are designed for 2 people to be together so you can recruit a friend to volunteer with you. Each Volunteer will receive an Outdoor Business Alliance hat by Lucky Crow Hat Company ($30 value) and a beverage ticket to show our appreciation. Snacks + water provided during shift. You will be contacted when we receive your application and we will do our best to confirm your placement and work at least 5 days prior to our event. Please direct any questions to our GIGF Volunteer Committee Point, Tyler Donaldson, tyler@frenchbroadadventures.com
