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 every second year. In casino years, each athlete's family must work at least two shifts at 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. FUNDRAISING
Our club holds fundraisers on occasion for special events. You will be asked to participate as a member of Edmonton Thunder. Information will be available at registration, or when available.
B. Kinsey Verbeek Memorial Race
Our club holds a cross country meet in October. We ask that families volunteer at this event. It is important to us as a club as we remember Kinsey Verbeek, a beloved Thuner athlete. This meet is held Thanksgiving weekend every year.
C. 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 (10 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, we may deem that the track meet volunteering requirement has been fulfilled. Being a member of the Edmonton Thunder Board can also fulfill volunteer requirements.
