Posted on: January 4th, 2012 by admin

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Wish Night 2012. We appreciate any assistance, whether just for a couple of hours or a long-term commitment over the next several months. We’ll do our best to match your position to your interests.

All volunteers for Wish Night please contact our volunteer chairs Stacy, Felecia and Christine at: volunteerwishnight@gmail.com

 

April Updates

 
Thank you for signing up to volunteer for Wish Night 2012!  An event on this scale would not be successful without the generous efforts of our volunteers.  We are working to make this a great experience for you, so we encourage you to provide feedback throughout the process.

Sponsorship and Auction help needed! 

We could use your help!  Sponsor and auction information is included in the attachments accompanying this e-mail.  No item or donation is too small!  If everyone even identifies just one sponsor or auction item for the event, it will make a difference.  Consider asking friends, family, businesses you frequent, etc.

If you have any questions about sponsorships, contact Elissa at EMittendorf@northtexaswish.org.  If you have any questions about auction items, contact wishnightauction@gmail.com

Volunteer Eligibility:
Volunteers must be 21 years of age or older since alcoholic beverages will be served at the event.  If you or someone you know is under the age of 21 but is still interested in getting involved, contact volunteerwishnight@gmail.com to discuss other ways to help.
