2020
Detroit
Grand
Prix
cast out
calls to
volunteers
for May
event
DETROIT,
MI – The
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear
will
wave the
green
flag on
a busy
summer
in the
Motor
City and
the May
29-31
celebration
on Belle
Isle is
looking
for a
few
hundred
volunteers
to help
host
this
year’s
event.
Grand
Prix
volunteers
are
members
of the
Detroit
Grand
Prix
Association
(DGPA)
serving
as
ambassadors
for the
event,
as well
as Belle
Isle and
the city
of
Detroit
throughout
one of
the most
exciting
weekends
of the
summer.
The
DGPA
hopes to
have
approximately
1,100
volunteers
assisting
at the
2020
Grand
Prix and
with
nearly
500
members
already
registered,
the
organization
is
looking
to
welcome
several
hundred
more
members
to the
team.
DGPA
members
can
volunteer
to help
in many
different
areas at
the
Grand
Prix,
from
working
as
ticket
scanners
and
ushers,
to
providing
transportation
services
and more
during
race
weekend
on Belle
Isle.
Volunteers
will
also
have a
unique
and fun
experience
behind
the
scenes
at the
Grand
Prix
while
supporting
a very
positive
event
for the
community
that
remains
focused
on
giving
back to
Belle
Isle
Park.
The
2020
Grand
Prix
will
feature
world-class
racing,
live
music,
entertainment,
interactive
displays,
food,
drinks
and more
for the
expected
100,000
fans
that
will
visit
the
Raceway
at Belle
Isle
Park
throughout
the
three-day
weekend.
Lear
Corporation
once
again is
a proud
sponsor
of the
DGPA in
2020.

“We
always
hear
from our
fans,
our
partners
and even
the race
competitors
just how
special
our
volunteers
are at
the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear
and they
are so
right.
We
simply
could
not host
this
event
without
our
amazing
members
of the
Detroit
Grand
Prix
Association.
They are
so
passionate
about
the
Grand
Prix,
the city
of
Detroit
and
Belle
Isle
Park,”
said Bud
Denker,
Chairman
of the
Chevrolet
Detroit
Grand
Prix
presented
by Lear.
“Our
volunteers
make
sure
that
everyone
who
attends
the
Grand
Prix on
Belle
Isle has
a
wonderful
experience.
We
encourage
anyone
that’s
looking
to
volunteer
and help
make a
difference
in our
community
to come
join our
DGPA
team.”
Areas

volunteers
for the
2020
Grand
Prix
include
circuit
marshals,
customer
relations,
ticket
scanners,
information
services,
transportation
and
more.
In
2020,
the DGPA
will
continue

provide
an
enhanced

program
that
offers
more
flexibility
and
shorter
shift
times
for new
volunteers
working
at the
Grand
Prix.
New
members
have the
option
to work
one, two
or three
days at

volunteers
to work
a shift
on both
Saturday
and
Sunday
of race
weekend
(May 30
and 31).
The

to
become a
volunteer
for the
2020
Grand
Prix by
the end
of the
day on
January
31 will
pay a
reduced
rate of
$15. The
fee
helps
cover
many
volunteer
benefits
including
a
membership
patch,
commemorative
lapel
pin and
access
to
exclusive
pre- and
post-race
parties
for DGPA
members.
The
Grand
Prix
also
provides
each
volunteer
with a
credential
to
access
the
venue
throughout
race
weekend,
official
uniform
shirts
and hat,
free
