  • Pre-Race logistics & loading

  • Kids Fun Zone helpers
  • Vendor support
  • Raffle/Silent Auction

Please email our Lead Volunteer, Kristine Sniegocki, if you have any questions.

Wanted: Auction Committee Volunteers

/in , /by

Our Silent Auction is a huge part of our fundraising efforts each year!  Our Auction Committee is moving full steam ahead creating must-have auction packages. We are excited to not only have our auction available at our annual 5K/10K For Kids Cancer event, but also an auction at the NEW Pumpkin Charity Ball in October with Receptions for Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation.  We are in need of more volunteer hands.

We don’t just need help securing items… but packaging them as well.  We receive such fun items from our generous community businesses and beyond:  Date night packages with hotel/dinner/limo, jewelry, kids activities, sports tickets and memorabilia, spa packages, vacations and more.  We would love for you to join our Auction Committee and help us make this year’s silent auction a success.  Our two auction needs are:

  1. Auction Procurement:  our community (and far beyond) have been so generous in donating items for our silent auction.  We need your help in requesting donations from local businesses and securing the items.
  2. Auction Packaging:  Don’t feel comfortable asking for donations?  We still need your help… just as much work goes into the packaging .

We hope you will join us and volunteer this summer to help make our silent auctions the best in town.  Interested in learning more, please email Melanie, our Auction Committee Lead: melanie@isabellasantosfoundation.org

Meet ISF: Lead Volunteer Coordinator

/in , , /by

We are thrilled to have Kristine Sniegocki step up as Lead Volunteer Coordinator for ISF.  Kristine has committed to coordinate all our volunteer needs and efforts throughout the year.  This is a HUGE undertaking and we appreciate her willingness to jump in even deeper with the organization to help our fight against pediatric cancer.  Her  husband, Dave, is pretty cool too!  They have been volunteering with ISF a long time and we appreciate their willingness to help get things done. 

One thing we have learned through working for a non profit… you bridge relationships with those you would have never met otherwise.  We have met incredible people with the biggest hearts through this organization and we hope you will want to join us to not only fight for pediatric cancer… create relationships fighting for one purpose.

A little bit about Kristine…

What is your favorite hobby?  Spending time with my family at the beach or lake

What’s one thing on your bucket list Item?  travel to Hawaii with my husband

Why volunteer with ISF?  I feel passionate about the cause to cure kids cancer.  I started volunteering for somewhat selfish reasons to give me something to do, but continue to stay because I see what ISF is doing and I’m excited to see what they can accomplish.

It’s because of people like Kristine that we continue to grow!  Email Kristine for specific volunteer questions or request to be added to our ISF Volunteer database:  kristine@isabellasantosfoundation.org

Volunteer Position Opening: Silent Auction Project Manager

/in , /by
Get involved in your community… a resolution on many 2018 Intention lists.  The impact of our raffle and silent auction at our flagship 5K/10K September event has grown leaps and bounds since introduced in 2013.  The dollars raised through our silent auction helps impact our direct mission of helping kids fighting cancer.  We are looking for a Silent Auction Project Manager (volunteer position) located in Charlotte to head up our 2018 Silent Auction Committee.  Our raffle and silent auction has become such an important part of our fundraising goal and we have some new things in store this year.  This is not a ‘start from scratch’ volunteer position as there is a committee in place and the structure is built.
Position Details:
  • Run monthly silent auction committee meetings
    • Set ongoing monthly committee meeting
    • Primary contact with committee volunteers
    • Go to on all committee questions & follow up
  • Incoming auction item data entry
    • Enter auction items as they come in from committee volunteers
  • Manage business contact list
    • Manage business contacts excel spreadsheet
  • Auction package display
    • Manage the packaging of all raffle & auction items needed for event location
Timeline:
  • February:  Committee meetings and auction collection starts
  • June-August:  Heaviest auction collection months
  • August & September:  heaviest volunteer work due to event date
Thank you to all the volunteers who help make our raffle and silent auction a success each year!  We couldn’t do any of this without you!  More than anything, we have a wonderful group of volunteers and it is a great way to meet new people and develop new friendships!  Please contact Andrea if interested: dre@isabellasantosfoundation.com
