A Simple Truth Our Sport Relies on Volunteers with Bobbi Hagar

We have a very small sport which cannot afford to pay most of the staff that runs an event. Even with paid Officials, it takes two volunteers for every turnout. That means that no one gets to just be a competitor. If we all want to drive some... then we all have to volunteer some!

You might think it's okay to give money instead of volunteering, but it's not. Your money is not enough to sustain our sport Give something more precious - your time and your talent. Be a Volunteer... or better yet, become a Volunteer Manager!
