# [Volunteers Wanted!](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/blog/volunteers-wanted)

 Written by [Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue & Sanctuary](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/blog/author/gentle-spirit-horses-rescue-sanctuary) | Apr 18, 2025 6:04:12 AM

As we gear up for the 2025 Dakota Showdown, we’re looking to fill a couple key volunteer roles to help make the event a success — and you won’t be doing it alone! You’ll work directly with me, and I’ll provide everything you need, from resources to guidance and support.

 Concessions Coordinator – Help plan, organize, and run concessions during the event. This includes setting the menu, coordinating supplies, and organizing volunteer shifts. If you love being organized and creating a great experience for attendees, this one’s for you!

 

 Gift Card Outreach Team – We’re looking for at least 3 volunteers to reach out to restaurants, attractions, and stores for gift card donations. These cards will be used for prizes, giveaways, and a super fun gift card draw wall to help raise funds during the event!

 

Ideally, we’d love one person each to focus on:

Yankton

Sioux Falls

Rapid City

 

But feel free to connect with any businesses in other communities, too — every donation helps!

 

 I’ll be here every step of the way, so don’t worry if you’re new to this — you’ll have plenty of support.

 

Interested or have questions? Drop a comment or send me a message!

 

Let’s make the 2025 Showdown unforgettable!
