I've signed-up; I've also recruited my friend, her mother, and nephew. I've been trying to spread the word as well. I love working at this event, it's always a lot of fun!

Hello All,

This is the last week to sign up to volunteer for our Flying Pig BLT Station! Again, the event takes place on Sunday May 6, 2018. There is still time to make your travel plans. I am putting out a special challenge to my Cincinnati Chapter to step up and show the affiliate what we are made of.
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon is celebrating their 20th anniversary and we can be proud to be a part of it.

For the third year in a row, we will line up at Mile 9 of the Half Marathon, on Madison Road, and cheer on runners and hand out Puffs tissues to them as they go by. For this task, the affiliate will get paid $500! All we need to do is make sure we have 30 members, family and friends signed up to participate. For those of you who were there, you will remember how much the runners appreciated us, not only for the tissues, but for the moral support we were able to provide. This is a great way for us to give back to the community, while getting the brand of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio out in the public!

On the morning of May 6, we will plan to meet in the GCB parking lot at 1501 Madison Rd Cincinnati OH 45206 at 6:30 AM. We will then walk down to our spot along Madison Rd at Mile 9 and get ourselves ready for the runners. We are usually done by 9:30 AM. Then it's time for a hearty breakfast. More specific details will  follow.

As of today, we only have 10 volunteers, and we are required to have 30. The last day to register is April 27, 2018. Please talk to your chapter members and make your travel plans soon! Thank you so much for your service.

Here are the instructions to register as a volunteer:
