CHARITY PARTNER POSITION OPEN FOR 2011-2013 SEASONS

The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon partners with three local charities each year to assist in staffing this event.  The charities serve on staggered three year terms.  This allows for one new charity to be added each year as other charities’ terms expire.  Applications for a 2011-2013 charity partner position is open now.  Applications will be accepted through September 30, 2010.  Cellcom and the marathon will announce which charity has been selected in early November.
