Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, or 16-17 years old with an adult and signed Youth Waiver to participate in this event.

PARKING: This event will take place at the Monroe Athletic Complex. Volunteers will need to park at the New Roc City Parking Garage, which is a 4-minute walk from Monroe College.
