Flex for The Weekend, Join Crew!
Crew Members give their time over a weekend to make the Weekend an amazing experience for everyone involved! Whether they have been a part of the Crew before or not, they encounter a time in their life that likely becomes a “once in a lifetime” memory.
Being a Crew Member means having an impact on the lives of others and creating an amazing memory, not only for themselves, but for everyone involved! By becoming a part of the Crew, you will make a difference in the fight against women’s cancers OR cancer!

The Weekend Volunteer
Volunteers contribute their time, expertise, and skills to make The Weekend as great as it is for our Walkers. Some Volunteers help before the event by supporting Get In Step Sessions, speaking to people at outreach events, leading Training Walks and helping at The Weekend office. Others help on-event.
An army of dedicated Volunteers help us to produce an amazing experience for our Walkers. They greet you at Opening and Closing Ceremonies with gracious smiles, lend helping hands on the route and at Camp. The Weekend Volunteers are truly heroes before and during the event.
Volunteering is not only a great way to make a difference, it's a chance to change lives.
Register as a Volunteer today!
