🎰 W.O. Mitchell Casino Fundraiser

Our casino fundraiser is one of the most significant fundraising opportunities available to our school community. W.O. Mitchell’s casino fundraisers typically raise more than $60,000, providing valuable funding to enhance the educational experiences and opportunities available to our students.

Casino proceeds can support a wide range of school initiatives, including artist and educational residencies, classroom and learning resources, technology, playground and school equipment, and other enrichment opportunities that directly benefit our students.

In Alberta, charitable casino events are part of the province’s charitable gaming program, which allows eligible organizations to raise funds to support their charitable programs and services.

🙋 We Need 40 Volunteers!

We are looking for 40 volunteers to help fill a variety of roles during our upcoming casino.

No previous casino experience is required, and volunteers do not need to have a security clearance. Training and direction will be provided for your assigned role.

Meals are provided, making this a great opportunity to spend some time with other W.O. Mitchell families while making a meaningful contribution to our school community.

Bring a friend and sign up together! You don’t need to know anything about working in a casino — we’ll help you get started.

Every volunteer helps make this important fundraiser possible, and the more families who participate, the more we can invest back into our students and school.

📅 Please Sign Up by Friday, October 30
