About Spring Choosing Health!® Rally

We are looking for enthusiastic, conscientious people to help with our annual Spring Choosing Health!® Rally, a FREE community-wide event that attracts 400-500 people. Participants discover the multitude of healthy living resources that are available during the spring and summer, plus enjoy fun activities like fitness mini-classes, kids' games, healthy food demos and samples, and more.

An event of this magnitude takes much planning and many hands. We need volunteers with a passion for promoting healthy lifestyles and who enjoy outdoor events. There is a role for everyone, from greeting Rally attendees, to helping with registration, to taking photographs, to supervising activities, and finally set-up and take-down. And Subway will be donating lunch for all volunteers!

Application Process

Volunteers are needed for three shifts between 10:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Rally Day. (The Rally itself takes place 1:00-4:00 p.m.) There will be a short orientation at 12:30 p.m. If you would like to volunteer for the Spring Choosing Health!® Rally, contact Natalie Gottschalk at [email protected] or 517-347-3377.

Event Set Up

May 2, 2015 10:30am – 12:30pm

This task is filled or completed

Assist with event setup, including setting up display tables and chairs, event signs, and healthy snacks displays. We could really use some strong arms! We'll be outdoors, so wear comfortable shoes and even a pair of sunglasses.

Registration

May 2, 2015 12:30pm – 4:00pm

This task is filled or completed

Assist with the registration process and point out where the different activities are taking place. We expect to have hundreds of families attending, so we need volunteers who are comfortable communicating with a variety of people and providing directions about the day's event.

Greeter

May 2, 2015 12:30pm – 4:00pm

This task is filled or completed

Greet Rally attendees as they arrive and direct them toward registration, and provide information about the day’s activities. Greeters will also be standing for their shift, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Event Guide

May 2, 2015 12:30pm – 4:00pm

This task is filled or completed

You are the “eyes and ears” of the Event Coordinators, who can’t be everywhere at once! Assist with monitoring the various activities around the Rally (e.g., the Taste of Health tables, healthy lifestyle displays, fitness activities), and answering event questions from Rally attendees. Event Guides will be walking around for their shift, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Who volunteered?

Photographer

May 2, 2015 12:30pm – 4:00pm

This task is filled or completed

Be our designated photographer with your own camera or smartphone. We’re looking for action shots and interactive shots that show the diversity of attendees at the Rally and get photos of all of the day’s activities and healthy living displays, including the 30-minute Let’s Walk & Talk with a Doctor walk on Fenner’s trails. Since the event is primarily outdoors, wear comfortable shoes and maybe even a pair of sunglasses.
