We are in pursuit of raising funds for transportation needs. We are hosting a music marathon called the Groove-a-thon.

All are welcome and they can stay as little or as long as they would like.
Tele-thon volunteers:
These volunteers will be making phone calls to people who may be of interest in the community to let them know about our mission, and also our purpose as to why we are needing donations for transportation to serve individuals with disabilities. They will have access to the call list provided also will have a headset and they will be in the conference area. If they receive a donation, they will alert staff as we will keep track of this as we get closer to our goal during the marathon. They can sign up from 9am- 9pm shifts. The shifts will be 30-mins to one hour increments but they are welcomed to do more. I will include the schedule for that day of events. They would need to email us what time works, and we can put them on the schedule.
