Volunteering Makes You Happy!

It’s a simple fact that bike races run on volunteers. We need your help…

Specifically, the Bazaar Road Race needs volunteers. Road races not your thing? Please volunteer. You team needs to promote an event? Please volunteer. You simply want to ensure the future of bike racing? Please volunteer. You want to lower stress levels and feel happier? Please volunteer.

A recent study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who volunteer are happier than those who do not. Every two years from 1996 to 2014, researchers took data from nearly 70,000 research participants about their volunteering habits, mental health, levels of stress, and daily mood.

Contact Bazaar race promoter John Fairbanks by email johnarlenef@gmail.com to volunteer for Bazaar on Sunday April 16.
