Finish Line Cheerleaders (Ride Day)

Captains: Elexus Liggins and Taylor Stockett

You will be cheering in our riders with lots of energy & enthusiasm! Bring the Pom Poms and costumes! The is a great opportunity for a corporate team or large friend group to volunteer.

All Ride Weekend Volunteer Crews

Below are many opportunities - find one that most interests you! Many crew opportunities fill up early, so register! We will do our best to place you in your preferred area, but we hope you understand if we need you elsewhere. Crew Captains will contact you as we get closer to Ride day. The crew registration fee is $29, which includes a t-shirt (please register by March 31st to be guaranteed a t-shirt, supplies will be first-come, first-served after that date), breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner on Ride day.

While crew members are not required to raise money for the cause, many do. Last year's crew raised over $36,000! You have two choices to make when you register: 1) the volunteer crew you'd like to be on, and 2) your registration status. When you review your registration options in the registration system, you'll see the chance to register for one of our specific volunteer crews. Your volunteer crew doesn't affect your personal registration status (either individual participant or on a team), so if you have a friend you'd like to team up with for your fundraising goal you can definitely do that - even if they're a rider! 

We ask all crew members to attend an orientation session. Each session lasts about an hour and provides important information on the Ride and crew responsibilities. Our Orientation Schedule will be posted 2-4 weeks before Ride Day.
