We LOVE our CFJC –TV Boogie the Bridge Volunteers!

Behind every successful Boogie the Bridge is an extraordinary group of volunteers busy organizing and giving their time for this event! Without our volunteers Boogie the Bridge would not be the success it is.

Everything our Boogie team does is centered around our core values: trust, commitment, kindness, integrity, respect and fun. If you love to live life with these values and if you love your community, we would LOVE to have you as part of our team.

There are two primary ways to get involved with Boogie the Bridge:

1) The Boogie Planning Committee

Our Boogie Planning Committee is the core team that makes Boogie happen. Our team is made up of several sub-teams, each with one or two team leads and several other members. Our group of dedicated volunteers meets one Thursday every month for two hours, from September through December and then every other Thursday, from January through to Boogie weekend in April. There may be additional team or sub-team meetings, as needed. We recognize that this is a significant time commitment but we will always say and support “family first”! Everyone misses a meeting (or three) from time to time but if you are committed and able to put in some hours behind the scenes, we would love to have you.

If you would like to join our Boogie Planning Committee team, please email [email protected] with your contact information.

2) Boogie Weekend Only

If you’d love to be a part of Boogie, but aren’t sure you can commit to helping throughout the year, we would LOVE to have you join us for Boogie weekend! There is always lots to do and the more hands we have, the better!
