UPDATE: Merchandise Sales Help & Driver Needed for 2025 RFTW

All,

I wanted to provide an update on my post on October 10th regarding drivers and sales help needed. All driver positions are now filled! Thank you to those of you that have stepped up to fill these critical positions.

Central Route – Julie “Jewels” Jackson
Midway Route – Brad “Bone” McGuire
Southern & Sandbox Route – Greg Noller

With the drivers all in place, I still need a few people to help in sales for each route. As a reminder, these positions will require each individual to register for the specific route they will be participating in and by doing so, will be eligible for all the same benefits as the riders including meals while on the Run. Team members ride out ahead of the pack to allow time to park and set up before the pack arrives at each stop. This gives supporters, participants and day riders a chance to buy merchandise prior to the pack arrival.

Merchandise sales will be open at each designated stop for up to 30 minutes prior to pack departure to give pack riders an opportunity to buy merchandise as well. Typically, stops that the merchandise team will be at include all lunch and dinner locations as well as designated memorials and VA hospitals.

Upon arrival in DC, your help is needed to unload merchandise from the two trailers not participating in Sandbox and stock the trailer assigned for Sandbox. Once completed, enjoy the celebrations when the pack arrives!

Sales Help for All Routes

  1. You are customer focused and will represent the face of the RFTW and the merchandise team.
  2. You will need to be able to operate the point-of-sale system and manage cash and credit card transactions. Training is provided.
  3. You will need to be capable of reconciling all transactions for each day and provide the Treasurer, or appointed person, with the cash received each day. Reporting format will be determined by the Treasurer.
  4. You will be required to be in Ontario, CA the Friday before the Run for training and to help set up and sell merchandise at the Elks and  host hotel.
  5. You will need to provide your own transportation unless other arrangements are made with the merchandise truck driver for your route to ride along. I can help with this if needed.

Please reach out to me if you or someone you know is interested or has any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
