The City Year Serve-a-thon is much like your typical walk-a-thon fundraiser, but with a twist! Instead of walking for a cause, participants in the Serve-a-thon fundraiser spend the day doing community service to directly transform neighborhoods.
All funds raised from this event support the City Year Boston young leaders who make a difference in the lives of children during their year of service through literacy tutoring, mentoring, after-school activities, school vacation programs and community service projects.
A $30 volunteer participation fee covers:
- service supplies
- transportation for the day
- event t-shirt
- breakfast at the Kick-off provided by Gourmet Lauren
- lunch provided by Gourmet Lauren
- dinner at closing celebration provided by Qdoba and Pollo Campero
- entertainment at closing celebration (featuring a band, raffle, and media show with pictures from the day)
