How Can You Help?

We need you! There are no strangers when it comes to making mud!

Please consider joining our army of volunteers to help make a difference in the lives of people with seizures! WE NEED YOU!!!

Mud Volleyball is EFWO’s largest fundraiser of the year. It provides for almost 25% of the agency’s budget. With only 3 staff members, we rely heavily on our dedicated volunteers to make this event a success!

We can also use clerical volunteers in our office the week before the event. Call us if this is of interest to you. 937-233-2500.

There are three days where your help is needed most.

Set up on Friday, July 11th – we’ll be on the fields all day starting at 9am.

DAY OF EVENT – Saturday, July 12th – starting at 6:30 am all day we’ll have shifts of volunteers pitching in; all for a good cause!

Tear down on Sunday, July 13th – 9am until about 1pm – It’s a dirty job but somebody’s got to do it! It goes quickly with a little help. Please consider coming out for a few hours to help wrap it all up.
