Volunteer Opportunities
We are grateful for the contributions of our valued volunteers who donate their time to help the Queen of Peace Foundation fulfill its mission. Below is a list of some opportunities that are currently available.
- Wonderland in the Park Gala & Auction. Many volunteers are needed for this event, which happens every three years. This is the Foundation's primary fundraising event. The next Gala is scheduled for Saturday, November 12, 2011. The following is a list of committees and duties that we rely on volunteers to do.
- Auction item procurement (begins 3-6 months prior to the event)
- Administrative tasks, including invitation and catalog mailings (4-6 weeks prior to the event)
- Auction item preparation (begins 3 weeks prior)
- Decorating committee (begins 1 week prior)
- Event set-up (begins 1 week prior). This includes setting tables, setting up auction tables, lighting & construction, and decorating trees.
- On-site duties on the day of the event. This includes wait staff, door hosts, coat check, drink ticket sales, registration, auction table chairs, booth closing, cashiers, and auction clerks.
- Tear-down on the day after the event.
- Special Events. Help is sometimes needed for our special events such as the Kids' Health & Fitness Fair or Donor Appreciation Reception. Volunteers may be needed prior to the events for set up, or on-site as greeters, or to man an activity station.
- Administrative Support. Administrative help is needed throughout the year. Common tasks include data entry, mailings and donor acknowledgements.
