Volunteer Connection's 6th Annual I Volunteer!
Day
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Volunteer Connection's annual I Volunteer! Day is a Serve-A-Thon; a county-wide celebration of service engaging hundreds of volunteers at numerous project sites throughout Boulder County. It is Volunteer Connection’s primary fundraiser. This event provides an opportunity for individuals, families, groups, businesses and corporations to get out into their communities, learn about various nonprofit and government agencies that serve Boulder County and give something back; while having a great time and supporting the year-round efforts of Volunteer Connection.
I Volunteer! Day takes place each April in conjunction with National Volunteer Week, Earth Day and Arbor Day. This year's event is on Saturday, April 25th. This event epitomizes what Volunteer Connection has been doing for 40 years - connecting community members with community needs.
Join us for our 6th annual I Volunteer! Day. You, along with 500+ volunteers, will lend a hand to benefit over 30 local community service agencies and nonprofits by completing projects that have been on their Wish Lists. Painting, building, cleaning, landscaping and restoration are just a few of the tasks you will be helping agencies tackle. It’s fun, rewarding and only takes four hours. However, those four hours will have a huge impact because together, we will devote over 2,000 hours of service, all in one day! What we will accomplish would otherwise take one person, working full-time, almost an entire year to complete! You will also be raising funds to support volunteerism. Register today and make a pledge to support your community.
Serve-A-Thon & Pledge Details
Volunteers are asked to make a minimum pledge of $20 per participant for participation in I Volunteer! Day. Note: Children under 8 are not asked to collect pledges.
Secure your pledge by inviting others to sponsor your four hour day of service on April 25th. Sponsors may include friends, family members, teachers/professors, co-workers, business connections, fellow congregants, and/or anyone else in your “sphere of influence.” Pledges made in support of your four hours of service will make a lasting impact. Each dollar will help support Volunteer Connection’s year round efforts to connect community members with community needs. Prizes will be awarded to those raising the most pledges.

Our large indoor drop-in site at Calvary Bible Church in Boulder offers multiple projects that may be better suited for families with younger children, people with disabilities and those unable to meet the entire four hour time commitment at a specific project site. Volunteers at Calvary are also asked to make a minimum pledge of $20 per participant. Note: Children under 8 are not asked to collect pledges.
