This committee is integral to the continued improvement and growth of the impact Bridget’s Bunnies is creating in the community.

> Have conversations, learn about our sponsors, and leave them with an amazing experience so they feel seen and appreciated
> Pitch downsell/upgrade packages as appropriate
Ultimately we will train you on the details of what we do here at Bridget’s Bunnies, but you’ll already be equipped with a positive attitude and a true passion for supporting families!
What it looks like to volunteer with us:
Your volunteer commitment is flexible and will be tailored to match the commitment that you are personally able to provide to the sponsorship committee.
