Volunteers make what we do possible. The work they do is important and rewarding. Special folks willing to lend hand and mind to our cause are needed for a variety of tasks.

Committee members as well as day-of-event support is needed for both of these events every year. These are fun, exciting, popular events and amount to a substantial portion of the funds TWC needs to do its work. Lots of different tasks-anyone can contribute! Please contact Jay Lockaby at 921-5539.

Volunteers assist in serving the luncheon, and assist with clean-up following the luncheon. Please contact Kelly Conrad at 921-5539.
JOIN THE STRIDES FOR HOPE TEAM! Strides for Hope is TWC's annual marathon fundraiser in which walkers and runners of all ages and ability levels come together to run a marathon or half marathon and raise funds for TWC while they do so. Join our team and run, jog, or walk the ABC 7 Grouper Run Marathon and 1/2 Marathon right here in Sarasota, on March 7, 2007. Each member makes a commitment to raise $2,200 and in return receives not only the thrill of a lifetime and heartfelt satisfaction for furthering the cause, but also:
- A comprehensive personalized training program including coach Flo Entler (official Coach of the Grouper Run)
- Paid entry fees
- Team apparel, including training shirts and race day singlets
- Pre-race pasta party and Post-race concert
SPONSOR A STRIDES FOR HOPE RUNNER: Not a runner? Then sponsor a Strides for Hope team member! Strides for Hope runners are often cancer survivors or someone running in memory or honor of a cancer survivor! Your contribution of $10, $25, $100 or more to a Strides for Hope runner can really make a difference! To help with Strides for Hope, please contact Jay Lockaby at 941-921-5539 or Jay@wellness-swfl.org.
