Race Day Volunteers Needed to Support Nebraska Community Blood Bank

Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB) (NCBB.ORG/volunteer) blood donors keep the people in your life running by providing area hospitals with life-saving blood. Because of its work in the community, NCBB has received the honor of being the Born and Raced in Nebraska (BRIN) Charity of Choice the past three years. As Charity of Choice, NCBB provides race day volunteers who help keep the event safe, organized and fun for the BRIN athletes. The partnership earns nearly $3,000 for NCBB and welcomes 60 new volunteers each year.

NCBB is currently looking for groups to volunteer for the Cornfield Cornfield race on Saturday morning, June 16 at Werner Park in Papillion and for the Harvest Moon Hustle race on the evening of September 14 in Elmwood.

“Quality volunteers are vital to not only the function of the race but we are also able to put a friendly face to NCBB’s mission of helping save lives. They always leave smiling and receive thankyous from the athletes – some runners even take a second to let us know they are blood donors too.” – Erica Busta, NCBB Volunteer Coordinator
