Help us gear up for the Running of the Balls and make it the best one yet. Each year folks just like you make the millions of meals we raise through Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC possible.
Enabling 5,000 participants to find their way in and out of the neighborhood, while having a great time makes for a diverse set of needs, so there are jobs for all types of folks including: handing out cookies and hot cocoa, making sure folks park in the right place and find their way around the course safely, and helping clean up once the race in done.
Our volunteers are the real superheroes behind this race. Without you, none of this would be possible. There's nothing like the warm, fuzzy feeling of being part of something big and seeing the smiles you've helped put on people's faces.
