In 2008 the Frys.com Open help raised over $600,000 in charitable contributions. As partners with the Thunderbirds, we will continue to grow our contributions year after year. We look forward to having you join us for another successful year!

To reserve your place as a 2009 Frys.com Open volunteer, please note the following:

We will also be offering straw hats and ladies visors for purchase. After your application has been processed, uniform distribution dates will be announced when you receive your confirmation card in the mail.

Committees asking for a full days shift will be noted on the description page. Every committee will have a mandatory training session prior to Tournament week which your committee chairman will notify you of.

Volunteer Badge: Your volunteer badge will admit you to the Tournament, Wednesday through Sunday. Your volunteer uniform should ONLY be worn on the days you are working. In addition to your badge, you will also receive 2 Good All Week Badges that your family and friends can use to come to the tournament.

Meal Vouchers: Every volunteer will receive one meal voucher per working day which can be redeemed throughout the day at various locations. Coffee and donuts will be provided in the mornings.
