Volunteer Spotlight
Helen Borgwardt has been a Polk Senior Games volunteer for 6
years – since 2009. She volunteers year round for Polk Senior Games. She works
in the office every Tuesday mostly on the computer updating databases for State
Games qualifiers, rulebook mailings and emails. She was introduced to the Games
by her downstairs neighbor Marie Gouldsbury. Marie had the year-round Tuesday
volunteer job until her death in March of 2014.
Helen’s hometown is Plant City but she now lives in
Lakeland. She loves travel, reading, outdoor sports like walking, biking,
hiking, and swimming and spending time with her family and grandchildren.
Helen also competes in the Games. She has won several medals
but says her biggest accomplishment was winning the gold medal in the Boot
Scootin’ Boogie in 2015.
Helen loves working with the other volunteers, making new
friends and seeing the many participants having fun and enjoying the Games!
