Marathon Kids Volunteers Needed
Friends of Marathon Kids,
It is that time of year again! Marathon Kids will celebrate its Kick-Off Celebration at Rice University Track & Field Stadium on October 21st. We need your help!
Last year, ~10,000 K-5th graders completed the FREE running/walking/nutrition program in Houston. They joined nearly 100,000 little Marathon Kids in the program statewide in Austin, Dallas, and the Rio Grande valley.
This year is exciting for many reasons. First, Marathon Kids has expanded to include not only HISD, but Spring Branch ISD, Fort Bend ISD, and Clear Creek ISD. We are expecting over 20,000 kids to join the program in Houston. In addition, MK is expanding outside of Texas for the first time to Los Angeles and Baltimore. We are expecting over 120,000 participants in the program nationwide!
Of course, to make this possible, we need your help. We will once again need approximately 130 volunteers to help support the Kick-Off event on October 21st at Rice University.
Please mark your calendars for October 21st and let me know if you will be available to help. We will need:
a) Captains who can lead fellow volunteers and also attend a "walk-through" at the stadium on Friday, October 20 at 5:30 p.m.
b) Other volunteers with the following shifts:
- 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (for setup/tear down support)
- 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (the majority of volunteer positions)
Let me know how you can help. I will, of course, send more specific details with a map and your role as we get closer to event day.
Thank you so much for your support!
Best regards,
