Endorphins for Orphans Program Lead

There are a number of new programs that Roses & Rosemary would like to get up and running.  We have many ideas for the program and now need ambitious, hard working people to build the ideas into one of our successful fundraising programs!

Program Description- The idea:

Our Endorphins for Orphans program is to be a program that enables people to collect donations for sponsorship for completing a race or athletic event (running a marathon, swimming a distance, climbing a mountain, taking part in a team activity).  Basically any activity that gets your Endorphins going! 

In addition, the charity would one day (12 months timeline) like to host a road race in the Seattle Area for 300+ runners and gather sponsorship.

Preferred Qualifications/ Skills:

We are looking for a creative self- starter who is ambitious, hard working and extremely organized.  Strong communication, team building and leadership skills are a plus! Experience with organizing and/ or competing in these type of events preferred.

Tasks:

·         Take ownership of this program, develop and implement the program from the ground up with the goal of creating a functional and successful fundraising program.  One of our board members would be happy to work with you as much as you need and be a contact.

·         Research how other organizations have made a program such as this work

·         Develop program processes, materials and marketing plan

·         Set fundraising targets for program

·         Present initial program plan to board for approval

·         Keep board updated on program progress

·         Work with other interested volunteers who would like to join program committee

·         Work with Active.com (or like site) web site to enable volunteers to register and collect donations

·         Volunteers can be from any location in USA

·         Leverage the Roses & Rosemary web site, marketing material and operational tools

·         Develop targeted marketing material around this program

·         Take ownership of program for period of time

·         Lay foundation for first road race in Seattle

·         Have fun!

Time Involved:

Approximately 10 hours per month while program is being developed followed by 5-7 hours per month once program has been launched.  Before an event such as a race, time commitment would likely increase to 10-15 hours in the month leading up to the event.
