2. May 24: Volunteer Opportunities @ Challenged Athletes Foundation

The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) is organizing a community track practice at Kezar with Paralympian and Nike-sponsored athlete Scout Bassett on May 24 and is looking for volunteers for the event.

Bay Club will be donating volunteer shirts and Nike will be giving free swag at the event. About 150-200 participants are expected -- feel free to invite your friends and family! An event flyer can be downloaded here.

CAF needs volunteers to work from 5- 8 pm. Volunteer tasks include registration/check, cheering for athletes, and general greeter/clean-up. If you're interested in volunteering click here.
