Volunteer at Shelter's 2022 Gala

Volunteer at our biggest fundraiser of the year! Shelter’s annual Home is Where the Heart is Gala is an inspirational evening of music, tributes, entertainment, and so much more!

Sign up to volunteer at the Shelter, Inc. 35th Annual Gala on Friday, November 18th, 2022! Volunteer times are 5:30-11pm on the night of the event. Volunteer roles will be assigned and event specific information will be given out the week of the event. Volunteers must be age 18 or older. Thank you!

The roles include:

Silent Auction/Retrieval Room: You would answer questions and help bidders to use the BidPal app and, after the auction is closed, help pack up items and connect them with the successful bidder.

Guest Check-in/Check-out: You would help to check in guests as they arrive and check them out as they leave. You need to be experienced and comfortable with technology as you will be demonstrating how to use the BidPal application to guests.

Auction, raffle and games: There is a training session with the Auctioneer prior to the start of the event. Your job involves pointing out bidders at the tables and making sure the correct paddle number is recorded. You would also be selling raffle tickets to guests and helping with games and bidding during the evening.

If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact Zoe McGrath at zmcgrath@shelter-inc.org or 847-595-0180.
