We love volunteers! Let us know how you’d like to help by filling out this short form, and we’ll follow up with you to get you started.
I’m interested in becoming a Legacy Member.
Hot stuff! Legacy Members are some of the most important CTF supporters. They provide substantial funding for CTF throughout the year, as well as other resources such as volunteers, leadership on the CTF Board of Directors, and ongoing support for the CTF mission. Because this membership level is so essential we provide our Legacy Members with some pretty amazing benefits (if we do say so ourselves). To ensure that each Legacy Member gains the full value of this sponsorship, we limit the number of members at this level annually. For further assistance please call the CTF office at 916.489.1629 or email us at marnie@the-ctf.org
