| ABOUT |
| MADTOWN BMX is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We rely on volunteers who dedicate their time and help before and during our events. Without our volunteers there would be no MADTOWN BMX. We are always looking for volunteers to step up and make our races possible. Parents, racers, family members, and spectators can all be involved in a number of ways. Want to keep busy while your child or family member rides or races? Just see a staff member or stop by registration and ask how you can help. We'd love to get you involved at whatever level you're comfortable with. We won't survive without volunteers. Volunteering of course is not a requirement but can be a very rewarding experience for you or your child. Listed below are some volunteer examples of how you can help out at MADTOWN BMX, your participation will help preserve this fine race facility. |
