Cheers to the Williams Syndrome Association for using VolunteerSpot to help raise awareness.

We organized a 5K Trail Run/Walk and Picnic in support of Williams Syndrome Awareness Month in May at Bond Park in Cary, NC. It was a huge success! We had about 120 attendees and utilized VolunteerSpot for all our volunteer and food sign-ups. The website was very easy to use helped keep us updated. VolunteerSpot worked GREAT!!!
Explain how you use VolunteerSpot to coordinate these volunteers.
We set up a sign-up page with not only helper requests but also specific food items needed for the picnic based on the number of projected attendees.
