Would you like to volunteer to help?
You can help! Battle on the Columbia takes a lot of volunteers to make it go so smoothly every year. Volunteers receive breakfast and lunch + a T-shirt that is unique to the volunteer staff. We need: judges (black belt in any martial art), scorers, runners, and “gofers”. Every little bit helps!
