Thank you for volunteering at the 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

2008 VOLUNTEER FORM

The 2008 Volunteer Experience at the Kraft Nabisco Championship

Thank you for your interest in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Volunteers are an integral part of our 36-year success. The Kraft Nabisco Championship could not exist without the cadre of volunteers who are responsible for a number of duties both prior to, during and after the Championship.

Today, we have seven active committees, including marshals, scoring and scoring control, admissions, parking and security, LPGA courtesy cars, tournament transportation, community relations, and special projects, comprising more than 900+ persons. These generous volunteers work tirelessly at everything from traffic control and manning the will call booth to interacting with top LPGA players as a marshal or walking scorer.

Please review the committee descriptions and sign-up today. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via e-mail knc@kraft.com or phone 760.324.4546.

Schedules

Tournament volunteers are expected to work a minimum of four days, although schedules vary depending on the committee. For instance, marshals are required to work for six days (two pro-am days and four tournament days). A typical shift is 6 hours a day for 4-5 days.

Uniforms, Credentials & Gifts

Volunteers are required to make a $75 donation to one of our pre-selected local charities: Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs, Family YMCA of the Desert, Desert Junior Golf Assoc., Palm Springs Kiwanis Foundation, and United Way of the Desert.

As a volunteer, Kraft gives you:

  • Cutter & Buck logo shirts (2)
  • Cutter & Buck logo windbreaker
  • Pants (men) or cropped pants (ladies)
  • Choice of headwear
  • An array of Kraft products
  • The volunteer appreciation gift
  • Your weeklong credential for tournament admission
  • One additional credential for a guest
  • Meals and snacks, where appropriate


2008 Volunteer Committees

Below you will find a brief description of the volunteer committees and jobs that support the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Not all committees will have availability, so we strongly suggest that you indicate three preferences. On some committees, you may be asked to attend a mandatory training session prior to service.

Community Relations Committee

Includes pre-tournament operation of the Million $ Hole-in-One Contest at two off-site locations. You may be required to lift heavy objects. This is a 10-day event that concludes on Sunday, March 30.

LPGA Courtesy Cars Committee

Marshals Committee

Manages spectators on-course, in the grandstands and luxury boxes, and at the practice range to insure fair playing conditions for the LPGA and the safety of the attendees. Marshals enforce golf etiquette by controlling the flow and noise level of spectators and alert the gallery of any potential hazards during play. Marshals are requested to work six full days to include two pro-am days and four days of professional competition.
