Volunteers are the heart of our community. Thank you for volunteering your time to help make our event a success!
Our annual fundraising event, Blanco y Negro, will be back in person in 2022! The event will be held at the Grand Plaza, Union Station and we will have a number of volunteer needs including: help with reception/check-in, set-up/decorations, silent auction setup, checkout and pick up of auction items, clean-up, parking lot coverage, and live auction spotters. We greatly appreciate your interest in volunteering and your support of Guadalupe Centers.
The volunteer will assist guests with the check-in process, making sure they have a credit card on file if they wish to participate in the silent auction and also ensuring the guests knows which table they will be seated at.
Volunteers working reception / check-in will need to arrive at Union Station's Grand Plaza no later than 4:30 pm so that they can receive training on the event management software. These volunteers will also assist with the silent and live auction check-out process at the end of the event. The event will end at 11:00 pm.
Volunteers are asked to dress in black and white.
Time Needed: 4:30 pm to Midnight.
