For the first time, participants that volunteer for two days or more will be invited to an exclusive after-party at the Champions Club, while there are also attractive prizes up for grabs.
All volunteers will be entered into a special raffle draw to win prizes including Etihad Airways flights for two, as well as golf four- ball, spa experiences and dining and hotel vouchers.
