GUIDELINES:

Cheering Station sites have been generously donated by local businesses and organizations, and it’s important that we treat these sites with care and respect. Below is a list of guidelines established to help create safe and fun Cheering Stations:

• Please do not disrupt traffic or block the route/bike path in any way.
• Please stay for the duration of your shift! Walkers will really appreciate it!
• The last Walker will have passed by your Cheering Station when the Caboose (staff member on bicycle) rides by.
• Please park only in the designated parking areas.
• Please remain at the designated site and do not stray onto adjacent property that we do not have permission to use.
• Please pick up any trash or recycling that you find on the ground. We strive to leave sites cleaner than when we first arrived. Avon Walk Staff will not be providing site clean up. It’s a great idea to bring a couple of trash bags with you in case you are bringing posters, balloons, etc. along for the day.
• Avon Walk Staff will NOT be on site to monitor the Cheering Stations. These sites are open to the public - family and friends of participants, media and sponsors may visit these sites.
• Wave banners, hold up signs or balloons, blow bubbles, cheer, etc. to show your support.
• Create a theme with your group!
• Please remember that this is not a political venue or place for personal propaganda. Any business interested in dispersing brand material must get approval from the Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator prior to the event.
• Please do not use sidewalk chalk, paint, confetti, etc.
• Please do not hand out food or beverages to Walkers due to city health codes, unless approved by the Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator in advance.
• If your shift takes place during a meal time, you are welcome to bring your own snacks or food. Please be sure to clean up after yourselves. Food will not be provided by the Avon Walk.
• Should you need to use the restroom, you will need to find one on your own.

A Special Message Regarding Volunteer Waivers

Please click here to print out and complete a Volunteer Waiver for each Volunteer who is attending the Cheering Station and return it to me prior to the Event. You can fax it to (323) 931-3028 or mail it to Tiffany Estell, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, 4929 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 255, Los Angeles, CA 90010. I appreciate you taking the time to fill this out in advance and unfortunately, will not be able to collect the forms the day of the Cheering Station.

*If you will not be meeting your group before the Walk or will not be able to distribute the Waivers prior to the Walk, please print off copies and bring them with you to the Cheering Station. Please have your group members sign there and then either mail or fax the forms back to me the week after the Walk. If you are under 18, you will need a parent/guardian to sign form as well.*
