Volunteer Information

Eeyore’s Birthday celebrates Austin’s spirit and culture while generating sizable donations for local charities.  All this is possible because of volunteers like you.  We depend on your cooperative tendencies to make this event a success.  If you are not already a volunteer, please attend one of the volunteer meetings to sign up for your favorite crew and help us support another successful birthday celebration.  If you are a volunteer, please plan to attend one meeting for important volunteer announcements. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the Contact Us form and indicate your volunteer preference. We hope to see you at the volunteer meetings.
