We are going into our ____ year partnering with the Riverview Gaming Center in Chatham. Every month, our organization will be volunteering for several Bingo events to raise money for our teams. Volunteering for these Bingo's is a fantastic opportunity for parents to contribute to our organization's success while having fun and building a stronger community.
How Can You Help? What is Expected?
Volunteer!! We need enthusiastic parents that are willing to volunteer for a two hour shift alongside another Crush parent. There is NO handling of bingo cards, collecting money or calling out numbers! At Riverview Gaming Center, you will simply be asked to spend your shift walking around, smiling and talking with the patrons and collecting the papers from the tables as they are used. And that’s it! In return, you will receive a credit of $150 for your team to go towards uniform costs, equipment and/or additional ice time. That’s right! Just by walking around for two hours, you can earn your team money!
Sign Up Today!
We encourage all teams to get involved! We are hoping to recruit at least one parent from each team to assist with bingo fundraising. Bingo dates are sent out months in advance and you can select which date works for you! If you are interested in becoming a bingo volunteer, please contact our Vice President, Melissa DeMaeyer at [email protected]. Your support and dedication are greatly appreciated.
