Audi sponsored Best Buddies Challenge Hyannis Port MA: Volunteers needed

[Chris Miller]

The mission of Best Buddies is to establish a global volunteer movement that
creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and
leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental
disabilities.

On June 5, 2010, celebrities, athletes, individuals with intellectual
disabilities, and people just like you, will take the challenge, and come
together on bike and on foot to make a difference and change lives. 

Bicyclists will be riding one of three options for distance: 100 Miles, 50
Miles or 20 Miles along a classic New England route, fully supported from
Boston all the way to Hyannis Port. Open to all ages and abilities.

For those who do not wish to ride, there is a 5k run and 3k walk led by
Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis at the finish area alongside the beach in
Hyannis Port!

Audi is the Title Sponsor for the event once again. We at the North Atlantic
Audi Club have volunteered to help promote the event, in particular, to
gather some helpers who can work along the courses.

All volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt, food and beverages, and
that warm fuzzy feeling you get from doing a good thing!

The Audi Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port is a truly unique five-star
event that fosters friendship, teamwork and the inclusion of people with
intellectual disabilities. On June 5, 2010, celebrities, athletes,
individuals with intellectual disabilities, and people just like you, will
take the challenge, and come together on bike and on foot to make a
