North Carolina Leg Leaders Needed:
We’re still looking for a few superstar Eagles to volunteer as a leg leader in North Carolina! Leg leaders help coordinate their day of the relay: scheduling who is carrying the flag, determining pacing, and coordinating support logistics across the day.
It’s a big role, but without volunteers like you, the Old Glory Relay won’t be successful. Leg leaders will receive exclusive swag for their help, as long as they commit by Friday, August 27! If you are interested in learning more, indicate your interest during registration or email oldgloryrelay@teamrwb.org.
*** ATTENTION ***
After signing up, your volunteer leg leader will contact you regarding pace, distance, and time of day preferences. If you’ve already signed up and have any questions about your day or need to switch days, please email oldgloryrelay@teamrwb.org.
EAGLE FIRE IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
There's an app for that!
