We’re looking for FGCU students to volunteer at the Labor Day 5K on Monday, September 1st from 7:00 AM–10:00 AM at Baker Park. This community race is hosted annually by Gulf Coast Runners, and Fun Time Early Childhood Academy is proud to be this year’s beneficiary.

Volunteers will help with:

- Event setup and breakdown

- Water stations and snack tables

- Distributing t-shirts and runner welcome bags

- Cheering on runners along the route

It’s a great way to get involved in the community, earn service-learning hours, and support early education in Collier County.
