Polk Senior Games is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, meaning it is designated by the IRS as a charitable cause, is exempt from federal income tax and can accept tax-deductible donations. Funding for the Games is raised through entry fees, sponsorships and donations.

VOLUNTEERS

Polk Senior Games is an exciting and large event. For 16 days, over 2,400 seniors compete in 85 events held in locations throughout Polk County. Over 400 volunteers are needed and come from parks & recreation departments, civic organizations, businesses, senior communities, recreation clubs, schools, and private citizens.

There are opportunities to help in all facets of the Games - distributing posters and brochures, soliciting door prizes, event check-in and refreshments, sport timers and monitors, health and safety personnel, and more.

All volunteers receive a T-shirt and a Volunteer Information Newsletter. However, most importantly, they receive the good feelings they get when they make a difference in other people’s lives by giving the gift of their time and contributing to healthy aging.

You will be inspired, motivated, and appreciated as a volunteer with Polk Senior Games. If you would like to help and be involved in a very special project, please call 863-533-0055 or email polkseniorgames@verizon.net for more information.
