Volunteers are the life blood of Moms On The Run. If you wish to help us out please complete the following information.

Volunteers usually need to be available from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Responsibilities can include being a race marshal, registration, cleanup, etc.
WE ALSO NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PICK UP RACE EVENT BARRIERS AND CONES AFTER THE RACE EVENT COMPLETION AT 10:30 AM.

Privacy Statment: It is the policy of Moms on the Run not to disclose personal information, including emails, to outside organizations other than to facilitate necessary communications relating to Moms on the Run events.

How can I get involved as a volunteer for MOTR?
Moms on the Run has been very fortunate to be supported by 200 volunteers that put on the various events on Mother’s Day. Currently, we may need a few more Race Marshals for the 10K race route. Go to “ABOUT US” on the top banner and find the VOLUNTEERS & STAFF information and registration area. Someone will contact you and see how you can help Moms on the Run.

What types of cancer do you assist local women with?
We currently assist breast cancer victims and all other women’s cancers.

How do we differ from other cancer fund raisers?
Many outstanding associations exist to help in the research and emotional support of women with various cancers.  Moms on the Run has identified the everyday financial needs of a women impacted by women's cancers like groceries, rent, car payments, gas, child care and medications, etc. that become family and personal financial impracticalities as a result of the effects of treatments which may impair a women’s ability to work.

What is the farthest point of geographical assistance?
We help women who reside in Northern Nevada.

Why don’t you assist men with cancer?
Currently, our resources are limited and require us to focus our support to our original target of Northern Nevada women with breast cancer and other women's cancers. 

How do you apply for assistance?
Call Lois Bynum  of Reno Cancer Foundation at (775) 329-1970 or complete the Financial Assistance Application in this website and mail it in.

What other events does MOTR hold to raise money?
A fashion show is held in the first part of May each year, and a motorcycle ride is held in April.

Who decides on where the money goes?
Ultimately, the board of directors of Moms on the Run is responsible for the allocation of financial assistance. Currently, Moms on the Run receives application of funds through the Reno Cancer Foundation on a monthly basis and approves their distribution based upon their recommendation and the Moms on the Run Financial Assistance Policy.

Is there a limit on how much you’ll give to one recipient?
Currently, no specific maximum limit is specified. Each person’s financial situation is reviewed on an individual basis. Consideration is always given to providing financial aid to the broadest number of women possible.
