nMotion's 2012 Annual Stair Climb Fundraiser, Story by Story, is scheduled for Thursday, October 18th, 2012. The event will be held at 1411 Broadway (at 39th Street) in New York City.
We depend on the support of over 100 volunteers to make the event run smoothly, and we invite you to join us as a volunteer at this year's Stair Climb. Feel free to invite a friend to volunteer with you! Volunteer hours can be any time from 1:00 pm - 9:30 pm, with most help needed after 5:00 pm. We are flexible with work schedules, although we would prefer for a volunteer to be able to help for the entire evening. Our organization will provide event t-shirts for the volunteers, as well as detailed job descriptions and supervision.
