It's making us smile just to be able to offer you this fun volunteer opportunity!  We have immediate need for volunteers to assist with the "happiest 5K on the planet" - The Color Run - this February 9th!
The Color Run is a feel-good, happy, colorful event. "Color Runners" of all shapes and sizes happily go from wearing pristine white clothing, to being covered in prismatic color. At each kilometer mark, a different color of powder fills the air and covers the participants, creating an ever-increasing spectrum of color and beauty. At the finish line, the color festival kicks off and the air is filled with millions of vivid color combinations as participants get in on the color throwing fun as well. For more information, go to www.thecolorrun.com, follow us on Facebook 
or check out this video!

Color Zone
Saturday, February 9
7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
This is quite possibly the most fun volunteer job we've ever offered!  You will be throwing powdered color at Color Runners as they pass the 4 color stations.  Then, of course, you'll sweep up the color.  This is a colorful (that means messy) job and a high intensity job, so you'll want to wear old clothes, be over 16 years old, able to follow directions and able to lift a minimum of 25 lbs.  Act fast - these spots fill up fast!  Click to register
