Description

Each year MitoAction hosts a fundraiser in Boston, MA - SKR Derby Day Benefit for Mito.  This event raises critical funds to support families and individuals effected by mitochondrial disease.  Most import, SKR Derby Day raises funds to send children with mitochondrial disease to summer camp and allows MitoAction to grant once-in-a-lifetime wish trips for kids affected by this rare disease.  We are looking for volunteers to help us set-up and decorate for this really important event.  The event will take place in Boston on Saturday, May 6th but decorations can be assembled off-site and ahead of the live event. Decorations include balloon arches & columns, paper flowers, centerpieces, etc.

If you are working off-site, we will have all necessary supplies delivered to you and we will make arrangements for pick-up or delivery of the pre-assembled items one or two days prior to the event on May 6th.

What's Needed To Complete

MitoAction will provide all supplies necessary for you to help us!!

Whose Help Is Required

We are looking for adults, middle school or high school students, families or groups interested in helping us off-site to prepare decorations.  If you would be interested in helping the day-of for set-up you must be 21 to enter the venue. 

Special Requirements
