Calling on all you amazing volunteers!

We have our heads down, and wheels to the ground planning for the Annual Balding For Dollars Main Event at BC Children’s Hospital again. This will be the 21st year and we want it to be huge! That means we need a whole bunch of amazing volunteers to help us with some of the prep, set up, day-of the event and take down. This event simply does NOT happen without YOU!

The finer details…

When: Saturday May 9th- event runs 11am – 4pm *Volunteers are expected to arrive between 10:00 – 10:30am and stay until the event ends. We also need some to come earlier and stay later to help with set up and tear down.

Where: BC Children’s Hospital (4480 Oak St., Vancouver) in the courtyard/roundabout area between the TACC, 1982 & ACB buildings. Specific area map will be provided & volunteers will be given free parking passes if needed so you can park on site!

How: The event requires around 60-70 volunteers to run- the more the merrier so tell your friends to sign up too. It’s more fun that way! Email below to sign up.

Why: It’s super fun, and you’ll feel great about giving back to your community and families dealing with cancer. Also you’ll get lunch, and some goodies- perks! This is a great opportunity if you need some volunteer hours for school, work, or a Balding For Dollars bursary requirement! We can provide letters following the event for those that ask.
