  PAMANA Volunteering 2019

  Looking for a fun way to support the Madison Community while helping PAMANA raise funds for its operations and projects? PAMANA is seeking at least 15 volunteers for Ironman WI 2019.  In exchange for our efforts, the Ironman Foundation will award a Volunteering Foundation Grant to PAMANA ($300-$500).  The more volunteers we have, the more grant money we will get that we can use for our PAMANA programs and activities.

  Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019, 11;30am - 4:00pm, Run Aid Station 7
  
  Tasks include set up of station and hand out water and food to runners.

  Pre-register on the PAMANA website to volunteer on behalf of PAMANA

  Kids 10 years old and older can volunteer with an adult. However, each volunteer regardless of age must register separately. All volunteers are required to provide the individual information on the sign up site.   For the PAMANA pre-registration site, each registration requires a unique email. For example:  If mom and 10 year-old son are volunteering, the son needs to be registered using his own email or using dad’s email.  Your information will then be entered on Ironman’s official volunteer website by PAMANA.  This ensures that PAMANA volunteers will be volunteering together.

  Once your information is entered on the official Ironman website, you will receive a confirmation email from Ironman with your shift/location information and other instructions.

  Registration/Volunteering Cancellation Deadline:  The deadline to register and to cancel is Sunday, Sept. 1st, 2019. To cancel, please log back in using your email address or contact Lynelle Harrison.

  Thank you for volunteering and supporting IRONMAN Wisconsin, the athletes and PAMANA!
