2. FUNDRAISING & VOLUNTEERING
Participation in our volunteer events is mandatory for the families of our athletes.
A. BI-YEARLY CASINO FUNDRAISER
Edmonton Thunder has a casino slot in the month of December, every second year in even years (next in 2018, then 2020, and so on). In casino years, each athlete's family must provide two volunteers to work the casino. There is no cash payment alternative: Volunteers must be provided, because we require the full complement of volunteers to meet our commitment to continue with the casino in the future.
B. TRACK MEET VOLUNTEER HOURS
Edmonton Thunder is required to provide volunteers from time to time to support Athletics Alberta track meets. Each family must work the equivalent of a full day (8 hours) at a track meet sometime throughout the year. The track meets operate entirely on volunteers, including officials. It is important that we fulfill our club commitment to ensure these meet opportunities continue to be available for our athletes in the future. Emails will be sent out requesting volunteers.
NOTE: If a family has contributed significant hours to assisting the team (team parent, assistant coaching), coaches may deem that the track meet volunteering requirement has been fulfilled. Being a member of the Edmonton Thunder Board can also fulfill volunteer requirements.
