Thank you for volunteering for the VETSports gala on June 21st!  The time you’re dedicating will make this a special evening for Veterans and their supporters, and we are so grateful for your help.

Because many hands make light work, we look forward to a fun, productive couple of hours to ensure the Marriott event spaces look fantastic for all of our gala guests. 

Please sign up for the duties listed to the right, with the understanding that flexibility is key! Click on the button of your desired task and follow the prompts to sign up. We may be finished with some tasks earlier than planned, and we may need all hands on deck to complete others.  And there’s always an extra task of two that takes us by surprise! 

We ask that you arrive at the JW Marriott hotel (1331 Pennsylvania Avenue) by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, 21 June.  There is parking available in several self-pay garages nearby. 

Once you enter the lobby, go towards the back of the hotel to the bank of elevators, which will take you to the lower floor with the ballroom.   We will do brief introductions and we’ll get started.  Depending on how quickly we can move through the tasks, we’ll aim to be finished by 1:30 p.m.   We will have lunch brought in from either Corner Bakery or Potbelly.

For those who will be helping with our Better Unite app for registration/check-in and our auction and raffle, we’ll be in touch separately to give you a demo of the app and to lay out the timelines for the evening. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions at any time.  And if you know of additional volunteers who’d like to join us, please send them my way.  My cell # is 202 744 6330, and my email is alexis.scudder@vetsports.org

Again, THANK YOU for your support to VETSports and this incredible event for our Veterans!
