Servathon 2008

Servathon is a one day event that unites hundreds of volunteers to demonstrate the power of service and teamwork. 364 days of the year Volunteer Memphis/Hands On Memphis offers flexible and meaningful volunteer opportunities at no cost to you or our partnering agencies. On October 11, 2008, your $20.00 registration fee will allow us to continue our mission: "To develop, promote, and support volunteerism in Memphis and the greater Mid-South."

Join us Saturday, October 11th as we engage hundreds of volunteers in creating a better Memphis!

This year's theme is "Serve. Teach. Learn." The focus will be to serve Memphis, teach others, and learn to change.

Servathon is a great opportunity to meet new people, see new parts of the region, and try something new. Servathon is also a fun way to spend time with family, friends and colleagues while providing service to your community. Servathon is a great place to get started volunteering or — if you have been a volunteer before — to try a new kind of project.

This year, Volunteer Memphis/Hands On Memphis hopes to mobilize hundreds of volunteers to complete 10-15 service projects at schools, charities, and other organizations around the Mid-South.

The day begins at 9 a.m., where volunteers will take part in a variety of service projects until 12:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to our after party full of fun, prizes, inspiration, and food from 1 to 3 p.m. We will have special guests and lots of surprises! Come in your paint-stained, muddy t-shirts and celebrate your day’s accomplishments and the impact you have had!
