Volunteers

The Foundation Fighting Blindness and Kansas City VisionWalk rely on Volunteers throughout the entire walk planning process.

Before the walk, volunteers assist us with securing sponsorship and in-kind donations, serve on the VisionWalk Fundraising Committee, and captain family or corporate walk teams. If you are interested in helping us out in one of these areas, give the Event Manager, Steve Sroka, a call at (847) 680-0100 or e-mail at SSroka@FightBlindness.org. We can use your help throughout the year, at any level of time you can give to us!

On Walk Day, everything from hanging up signs to greeting collecting registration forms is a great help. Volunteers are needed from 6:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Here are our Walk Day needs:

Set Up - Unload and distribute supplies to designated areas, hang banners and signs, and set up tables, chairs, etc.
