It’s that time of year – volunteers are needed to help serve breakfast and dinner during the Special Olympics Alaska State Bowling Tournament next month!

If you are interested in signing up to volunteer, please use this link:

Special Olympics Alaska (volunteerhub.com)

2026 Special Olympics Alaska Bowling Tournament
November 7–8^th

Clarion Suites Anchorage Downtown, W 8^th Ave

The link above will take you to the landing page on the new SOAK volunteer recruitment/management platform, VolunteerHub. You will need to create an account to be able to sign up to volunteer. Once all volunteer shifts are finalized for the weekend, you are also welcome to sign up for any events outside of the Sat/Sun breakfasts/Friday-Saturday dinner – you can reach out to CAPT Eldridge for the specific link. There are a set number of slots for each event – once they are full, there will be a waiting list. There will be automatic email reminders leading up to the event and automatic thank you emails sent 24 hours after the event. If you are not receiving the thank you letters via email, please ask for this at the event or email me and I will make sure that you receive one. Volunteers will now also have the ability to log into their accounts and see their volunteer history, hours, etc. No uniforms at the event – please wear casual clothes/athletic wear (no jeans).  Special Olympics Alaska will provide a t-shirt to all volunteers.

CAPT Eldridge can be contacted at cjeldridge@anthc.org with any questions.

Have a wonderful weekend,
