Ambassadors help promote the event to their friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors and serve as the primary volunteers and advocates the day of the event. All In-Person Ambassadors are assigned to a participating restaurant (usually in teams of two). Ambassadors will be present at the restaurants to talk to patrons about the center's services and to encourage diners to make a donation. Click here to sign up.
