The Ping Pong Ball isn’t just our biggest fundraiser, it’s downright FUN! Sponsors and guests can compete in our Table Tennis Tournament, play games, or bid on any of our unique auction packages. All proceeds benefit Jackson Chance Foundation and families with critically ill babies in the NICU.
About Day of Event Volunteering
The Ping Pong Ball begins at 5:00pm on November 10, 2023. Volunteers have an opportunity to apply for three shifts, Set Up Volunteer (12:00pm-5:00pm), Main Event Volunteer (4:00pm-10:30pm) or Break Down Volunteers (8:30pm - 11:30pm).
Some volunteer positions will require technical abilities as you'll be helping guest's check-in/check-out, make donations, and place auction bids, all of which is done through our online event management software. This will include entering guest information on laptops and iPads and assisting guests with our mobile event website, which they can access from their individual smart phone.
The primary goal of the Ping Pong Ball is to raise money so that we can help even more families with babies in the NICU. This team's primary focus will be to encourage guests to make donations, purchase raffle tickets, bid on auction items, and play beer pong and other games.
