Relay For Life Event Day Volunteers

To work one four hour shift assisting in some aspect of running the Relay For Life event in our Cowichan Valley on May 26th and 27th. There are a wide variety of tasks depending on a persons interests and abilities, ranging from providing food and beverage, help with setting up and taking down the event, help with running booths, registrations and more!  Contact us please.

For a one day commitment, Cowichan Wheels, an organization that raises money for spinal cord injury research and for mobility issue solution projects in the Cowichan Valley is hosting our annual Cowichan Wheels wheelchair rugby event Sunday June 10 in Duncan City Square. This event is now closing in on 10 years of successful fundraising. We have contributed money towards a pool lift, wheelchair accessible walking track, an accessible viewing platform in Somenos Marsh and have raised enough money to buy several special wheelchair rugby wheelchairs to start a league here in Cowichan to provide an activity and fitness opportunity for those whose mobility is limited to a wheelchair.

We are looking for volunteers to come out and play June 10 for the different sponsored teams and raise money for a good cause. It is a family event with a obstacle course for children to learn about life in a wheelchair. Even if you cannot volunteer please come out and support/enjoy the event.

Volunteering is a fundamental act of citizenship and philanthropy in our society. It is offering time, energy, and skill of one's own free will. Volunteers impact virtually every aspect of society including health, education, social services, youth, sports and recreation, culture, the arts and the environment.

Volunteer Cowichan raises awareness of the power of service, encourages people to volunteer, provides information about volunteerism and recognizes the contribution of volunteers.
