Wolontariat imprez biegowych w Stowarzyszeniu Sport, Rekreacja, Wolontariat „SFX"

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of the importance of volunteering in the work of the association. It is based on example of the Association “SFX”, which organizes running events. The specificity of organization of mass-running events requires that a considerable number of volunteers are involved. The main reason for this is the cost that is significantly reduced by voluntary work. This is a substantial saving for the organizer, but also a real possibility to organize the event with a relatively small buy-in for the runner. Funding from local authorities, sponsorships and buy-in runners only cover basic expenses, therefore free of charge help that voluntary assistance offer is essential. The contribution of volunteering to organizing and performing an event is therefore a condition of its success and represents a very broad and diverse task for volunteers, as discussed in more detail in the article.
