2026 NW & SW Regions - Golf (Spanaway)

Athletes from the NW & SW Regions compete in Golf at Lake Spanaway Golf Course.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering - our athletes appreciate your support!

Note that shift times are tentative - thank you in advance for your flexibility.

 

I apologize in advance for the long list of instructions - after reading once, you can skip over when registering for other events this season. :-)

 

PLEASE READ THIS!!!

 

If you are NEW, welcome!! If you have volunteered with us before but it's been a while, welcome back!  

Registering is a two-step process: 1) Create your profile 2) THEN register for your desired volunteer shift. 

STEP 1:  Visit https://portals.specialolympics.org. 

 - Click “Create an account” which will walk you through profile creation. 

 - Note: Your email activation code will be sent from “Microsoft on behalf of Special Olympics B2C Production.” Please be sure to check your spam folder as well.  If you don't receive the code after a few minutes, your email's security settings may be set too high.  See if you can add “Microsoft on behalf of Special Olympics B2C Production” as a Safe Sender and see if that helps.  

 

STEP 2:  When on your personal “Volunteer Zone” landing page, select “Sign up for an Event”

- If there are several events listed, it may be easier if you go to the drop-down Sort By feature and Sort by Date.

 

 - Register only for the shift(s) that you are committed to doing.  Do NOT register for every shift that you are WILLING to do.

 

 - If you are available to volunteer ALL DAY but only the AM and PM shifts are listed and available, please register for both shifts and we will fix it on the backend.

 

If you have ANY difficulties registering, or have ANY questions about volunteering or what the best role for you might be, please email the Volunteer Team at volunteer@sowa.org.  Thank you and we hope to see you at an event soon!

Thank you again for volunteering!  After you've registered here (or I have registered for you), you'll receive an auto-generated confirmation email.  Mark your calendars to save the date.  As we get closer to the event, you'll receive additional confirmation emails from volunteer@sowa.org. These are usually sent the Monday and Wednesday prior to a weekend event.

 

Again, if you have ANY difficulties registering, or have ANY questions about volunteering or what the best role for you might be, please email me at volunteer@sowa.org.  Thank you and I hope to see you at an event soon!
