Volunteer Commitments for the 2023 Season
Atom Gate Game Day Toonie Collection
All PEEWEE families will be scheduled to collect toonies at the Atom games on Sundays during the Atom season. Two shifts are available on game days at 9:00-11:00 and 11:00-1:00. All funds collected are donated to the Alberta Children’s Hospital.
Stick Officials
PEEWEE and BANTAM parent volunteers are needed for stick official duties. A team of three officials is required at each HOME GAME throughout the season. Stick Officials meet at the scorer’s table on the field prior to the start of the game. The referees and league organizers will provide instruction at that time. Please refrain from wearing Cowboys apparel when officiating.
Jamboree
The annual Peewee & Bantam Charity Jamboree is scheduled for Saturday, August 19, 2023. This event is important for player/team development, continued evaluation of players in game situations, and is our main charitable fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald House of Southern Alberta.
Traditionally, over 25 teams participate in the event, with the Cowboys families responsible for the majority of the volunteer positions. All parents/family members are responsible for fulfilling at least one of the following positions: Spolumbos tent, coffee & treats tent, baking items, gate toonie collection, field gate monitoring, silent auction, 50/50 ticket sales, Westjet ticket sales…. A signup spreadsheet will be emailed prior to the event.
50/50 Ticket Sales
Cowboys BANTAM team is asked to supply players & parents to sell 50/50 tickets at Calgary Stampeder home games throughout the season. This is CBFA league fundraiser which in turn keeps the registration cost down for each team. This is an extremely important event that all our parents are required to do. 2023 Cowboys dates will be announced as soon as the schedule comes out.
Year End Banquet
The banquet entails a catered meal, individual player awards, presentation of charitable contributions, and, most importantly, a celebration of the Cowboys accomplishments as individual teams and as an organization.
Numerous volunteers are needed for the Year End Banquet for Atom, Peewee, and Bantam Teams, which is held at the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre. Individuals may volunteer for hall decoration, ticket collection/distribution, set-up, clean-up and numerous other jobs.
Hustle for the House
The annual Hustle for the House is a major Ronald McDonald House fundraiser that Cowboys players and families are encouraged to participate in (run/walk). The 2023 event wil be held on September 23.
