Volunteering Opportunities
Gala Ball Working Group Member Volunteer Roles Currently Available - Devonport, Launceston and Hobart
Join Cancer Council Tasmania to put together a spectacular black tie gala dinner as we raise funds for cancer research and our continued investment into service provision across Tasmania! This year's theme is 'A night in Rio'.
The Working Group is a membership of driven, connected and passionate individuals who will seek support for Cancer Council Tasmania's (CCT) Gala Balls in Devonport (22 June), Launceston (19th October) and Hobart (23rd November). Working Group Members are required and focus on their region's gala ball, seeking support from their own networks by actively inviting like-minded and generous individuals and groups to attend the event and participate in exciting fundraising activities on the night.
Members procure donations of prizes for silent and live auctions, raffles and activities, with the aim to provide a wide variety of prizes to suit many interests and encourage return support to local businesses.
Members are encouraged to volunteer and assist in the event set-up and with tasks on the event evening where possible. The Working Group meet virtually and/or in person 1-2 times prior to the event.
