The committee will help to recruit teams, obtain corporate sponsorships, fundraise, help with event day logistics, and help spread the CF story to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Time Commitment: April to September/October

• Approximately 4-6 hours per month
• 1 hour meeting 1 time per month

Sub-Committees of 3+ volunteers will focus on specific needs of the cycle event which include:

• Sponsorship: Be willing to share personal contacts to local companies and help CF staff obtain event sponsorships.
• Logistics: Set-up rest stops along, event day activities, food/beverages, entertainment, etc.
• Recruitment / Fundraising: Recruit teams and individuals and help with fundraising.
