🚨 26 Casino Volunteer Spots Still Need to Be Filled!

Our casino is a major fundraiser for our students, but we need 26 more volunteers to make it happen! πŸ’œ

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! OUR CASINO NEEDS VOLUNTEERS! 🚨

Our W.O. Mitchell School Casino is one of our biggest fundraising opportunities, raising $60,000+ to support our students through residencies, learning resources, technology and other opportunities.

But we still have 26 volunteer positions that NEED to be filled!

⚠️ This is really important: If we don’t fill the required positions, we put this casino fundraiser at risk. Losing this casino could also affect our eligibility for future casino events!

πŸ’œ NEVER WORKED A CASINO BEFORE? NO PROBLEM!

No previous casino experience is required, and no school volunteer/security clearance is required for this event. Training and support are provided at the casino, so you don’t need to know anything about casino games or procedures beforehand.

And you don’t have to be a parent! This is a great opportunity to invite a grandparent, adult sibling, friend, neighbour, or other family member to join you for a fun night out while supporting our school. Adult friends and family members can volunteer too.

🍽️ Food is provided for volunteers, and Cowboys Casino offers free heated underground parking for guests.

πŸ“ Cowboys Casino
421 12 Ave SE, Calgary

Please look at the sign-up and see if you can take one of these remaining shifts. Even better, grab a friend or family member and volunteer together!
