UPDATED DETAILS Route Marshal MSABC

UPDATED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED AT THE BOTTOM: The American Cancer Society (ACS) Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting more than 200 communities to fight breast cancer and heavily depend on volunteers like us.  By volunteering, you're helping fund breakthrough breast cancer research, provide free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline for answers and support.


ACS of Hawaii is in dire need of volunteers for their upcoming Fundraiser Walk on Saturday October 22, 2022 at Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park (465 Lagoon Drive Honolulu, HI 96819).  Our specific tasking would involve being a Route Marshal where would be stationed along the route and help cheer on participants, keep them hydrated and making sure they stay on the route.  Our shift would be from 5am -10am and kids are also welcomed to volunteer (as long as they are supervised by an adult).  

If interested, please fill out this Google Form( https://forms.gle/WvEVubb3NBFVGZqg9 )and put "Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise" for the company
