BARCStoberfest Committee Members Needed! Help BARCS Celebrate 20 Years of Saving Lives!!

We need animal lovers like you to help us in our mission to safeguard, rescue, heal, adopt and advocate for animals while inspiring community action and compassion. At BARCS, volunteers are more than just a tremendous help to our mission--they are our lifeline and our family. Our volunteers help us care for the animals and operate our programs in a variety of different areas.

BARCStoberfest is half festival and half 5k run/1 mile walk. We have a beer garden, kids tent, pet costume contest, vendors, adoptable animals, and SO MUCH MORE!

We are recruiting for committee members - these are the volunteers that make the magic happen! Committee members meet together with BARCS Event staff to plan and carry out one of our biggest events of the year! Committee members usually pick an area to focus on so that our committee can divide and conquer this major event!

Some BARCStoberfest committee areas include:

• Lead-Up Events
• The Home Team (Volunteer and Foster Peer to Peer Fundraising)
• Team Recruitment
• Prizes & Sponsorships
• Beer Garden
• Vendor Recruitment
• Volunteer Recruitment
• Kids' Tent Activities and Logistics
• Race/Walk Liaison
• Marketing/News Media
• Social Media

Planned meeting dates will be 7/10, 8/14, 9/5, 9/19, 10/3, and 10/17. The first meeting will include a review of the sub-committee needs and expectations.
