How To Get Involved
There Is An Opportunity For Everyone To Get Involved
Think back on when you were on the B.I.O.N.I.C. Team in school. It was a place of belonging, connection, and striving toward a united purpose to help your peers. You have left a legacy that can impact generations to come! You can inspire the kids of today while being connected to this caring community of B.I.O.N.I.C. alumni all over the world.
The needs of kids have escalated, and suicide is their 2nd leading cause of death in the nation. They need role models to help them know they are seen, they matter, and people care. You helped create a worldwide movement that has turned into a nonprofit with schools in all 50 states and over 35 countries showing an interest in B.I.O.N.I.C.! We need your help to continue this work through donations or volunteering (please click the buttons below to let us know how you want to donate or volunteer so we can keep your legacy alive):
Alumni Legacy Circle - $10 a month or a $120.00 one time gift each year - If you are a B.I.O.N.I.C. Alum (participated in a B.I.O.N.I.C.

Donations – As a nonprofit we need to raise money for school trainings, supplies, etc. and some schools can’t afford the $400 to start a B.I.O.N.I.C. Team. The need is greater than ever, so we must hire more staff to help the schools with their B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams since Sandy Austin, our Executive Director, is our only staff member. This is how you can help.
- Become a part of the B.I.O.N.I.C. Alumni Legacy Circle
- Become a part of the B.I.O.N.I.C. Alumni Legacy Builders
- Donate a one-time gift of any amount.
Volunteering – We can use your help with our various activities:
- Driving golf carts at Bandimere Speedway (taking people to and from their cars) for our B.I.O.N.I.C. fundraiser
- Planning Committee – In-person Alumni Meet-ups throughout the Denver metro area for alumni to connect and encourage each other. You all are the most big hearted people we’ve ever met, and we would love for you all to meet so you can support each other.
- Planning Committee – Virtual Alumni Meet-ups for those not in the Denver metro area.
- Social Media help – help us by creating content for our social media campaigns.

- Guest Speakers for school B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams – Sometimes schools ask for people to speak to their B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams. We would love to have you share your B.I.O.N.I.C. story.
- Some companies ask employees to volunteer their time for a nonprofit and then they make a donation in that employee’s name to that nonprofit. Or maybe the business you work for would be willing to sponsor a B.I.O.N.I.C. event or resource, such as:.
- 10/10 – I Care Day curriculum for schools.
- Prevent Bullying by Just Saying H.I. curriculum for schools.
- S.T.O.P. Bullying course for parents – a course to help parents prevent their students from being bullied or help them recover as quickly as possible if bullied.
- BIONIC-IN-A-BOX items that schools get when they start a new B.I.O.N.I.C. Team or renew.
- Contact us as sandy@bionicteam.org for more information on these options and more.
