SATURDAY: Mascot Leader

May 10, 2025

Details

Want to see the biggest smiles on little and big kids alike? Then this is the opportunity for you. Volunteer as our Mascot Leader and help guide local mascots around the stadium, entertaining guests everywhere they go!

One of the many reasons our Kids Fun Run is so much fun is because we team up with a variety of local mascots to entertain our young participants. The mascots head down to the field to lead our pre-race exercises, getting all our kids (and parents) pumped-up and ready to run!

The Mascot Leader is an important role because you will be responsible for keeping those wild characters in line and on time. You will meet all the mascots at a designated "dressing room" inside the stadium. Prior to the Kids Fun Run start, you will guide the mascots down onto the baseball field and into position. After the Kids Fun Run is over, the mascots and Mascot Leader are encouraged to meet and mingle with guests for the remainder of the event.

SATURDAY: Kids Run Course Helpers

May 10, 2025

Details

This might be the easiest (and fastest) volunteer opportunity around. We are looking for volunteers who are one-part cheerleader and one-part friendly police officer. As participants race around the outside of the baseball field (called the "warning track"), it will be your job to ensure they don't wander onto the grass field.

What a great volunteer opportunity for friends and/or family members of race participants to get in on the action and cheer on their favorite runners!

The race doesn't take very long, so feel free to enjoy the rest of the day as one of our guests. Or if you're feeling extra helpful, feel free to sign-up for an additional volunteer role to help with the remainder of our event.

SATURDAY: Stadium Entrance Guide

You will be positioned near the back entrance of the stadium, directing runners into the tunnel and onto the baseball field track where our finish line is located.

Participants might be pretty tired at this point, so our goal is to provide extra motivation and encouragement as they enter the stadium towards the finish line.

This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers who want to be in the action and ensure our event is a huge success. The happier participants are at the end of the race, the more likely they will join us again next year to support foster care!
