Choose a Volunteer TEAM:
Buddy Team:
Each guest is required to be accompanied by a buddy who will provide companionship and any general assistance needed during the event.
ï Guidelines for buddies, per Tim Tebow Foundation:
ï A buddy 16 years old or above and who already has a relatoinship with the guest may attend with the guest. Buddies who are 18 years old or older will be required to pass a background check. We will contact you directly regarding this.
ï A buddy who will be a new "friend" or a guest must be at least 18 years old, must pass a background check done through Fusion Church of Madison, and attend one of the mandatory training sessions on January 14 or January 21.
ï Age Exception--buddies who are 16-17 years old may serve as a new "friend" if they have prior experience working with individuals with special needs. No background check is necessary. Buddies must attend one of the mandatory training sessoins.
ï PLEASE NOTE: Being a buddy is fun but also a very serious commitment, so by registering you are committing to attend a training and to be at the event on February 9, 2017. All buddies will be expected to accompany a guest for the entire evening.
