Up to 50 Texas medical students volunteer each year at the gala, which features a cocktail reception, a seated dinner, live music and dancing, and the opportunity to network with more than 500 physicians and community and business leaders from across Texas. 

Volunteers also help raise funds to support TMA and Family of Medicine health improvement programs, including medical student chapter community projects such as Be Wise – ImmunizeSM, Hard Hats for Little Heads and chapter grants.

Volunteer duties could include:  

  • Assisting with event décor set-up; 
  • Overseeing other volunteers;

  • Guest check-out for silent and live auction winnings; 
  • Mobile and live auction bidding assistance; and 
  • Make-A-Difference drive bid recording.  

Volunteer shifts are available from 5:30 to 9:30 pm, or from 7 to 11 pm. A few volunteers will also be needed from 9 am to noon and from 1 to 4 pm. Any amount of time you can spare is appreciated. 

Sign up online before April 15, or contact TMA Foundation's Sean Dunham at (800) 880-1300 or via email to sign up or for more information. If signing up online, enter your medical school's name under "group name."
