Help comes in many packages

Every National runs on the kindness of people who pitch in however they can. Some folks help in the rings, some help at the welcome desk, some jump in for a single shift because they happen to walk by at the right moment. However you choose to help, it truly matters. Our 100th National is a celebration of a century of dedication — and every pair of hands, every smile, every small moment of support keeps that legacy going.

Opportunities to get involved

You don’t need special experience to volunteer, just a willingness to jump in. We have roles that fit every comfort level, from ring stewarding and trophy table help to hospitality, education events, health clinics, and simple behind-the-scenes tasks. If you’re new, that’s totally fine. We’ll walk you through it, introduce you to the right people, and make sure you never feel lost. Helping out is a great way to meet other Doberman people and feel part of the rhythm of the week.

Ways to support

There are lots of ways to be part of the 100th National even if you can’t volunteer every day. Donations, helping with hospitality, sharing photos for our centennial displays, offering an hour to set up a room – it all adds up. This is a big year for our breed, and the heart behind the National comes from members who step forward in little ways that make a big difference. However you choose to support, we’re grateful.
