Do I need to create a category if my opportunity is for a one-time event?

Yes, every opportunity must be associated with a category!

We suggest that you create a category and title it according to the name of the one-time event. For example, the title of the category would be "Marathon Fundraiser". The opportunity titles relating to the event would be the roles/positions/tasks that volunteers will be assigned to at the event.
