Volunteer
We Need YOU.
When you attend a Gateway Burners’ event (whether a Burn, a fundraiser, or otherwise), you become an essential part of the Gateway Burners community. Our success hinges on the support of our community and volunteering is a big part of what makes our events so much fun! Together, we are fostering the comraderie of our community as a whole when staff and attendees volunteer to help at our events.
