You will assist in marketing the events, the recruitment of participants, and giving our supporters the tools they need to hit their fundraising goals to support the work we do.

This exciting role also includes getting involved in the logistics of our events – helping to make sure our events are safe, smooth running and most of all fun for our supporters!
