For 35 years, GAAR has been a proud sponsor and coordinator of volunteers for the New Mexico BioPark's annual fundraiser, Run for the Zoo...and walk with us too!
GAAR will continue this tradition, but we need YOUR help. In addition to cheering on race participants, a variety of services are needed, such as handing out flyers, providing directions at intersections, keeping the runners safe, flagging, etc.
Children, family, friends, and colleagues - everyone is welcome to volunteer!
Volunteers should be prepared to report to their designated areas on Sunday, May 5th by 6:00 am and stay until 11:30 am. Starting time may vary by team (your team captain will verify).
