We are seeking volunteers for our upcoming Casino in Calgary!
Our organization has a wonderful opportunity to raise significant funds to support our fabulous programs! We are writing to ask that you (and possibly your partner, other adult family members, etc) consider volunteering at our upcoming Casino.
The casino will be held on Thursday May 29 and Friday May 30 at the newly renovated and popular ACE Casino Blackfoot located at 4040 Blackfoot Trail SE Calgary.
What’s in it for you?
All volunteers receive free accommodation at the lovely Hotel Blackfoot, plus meals and travel costs are covered! It’s a great way to support a local cause, meet like-minded people, and enjoy a night or two away — all while making a real difference.
No experience is needed — just a willingness to help out. We’ll provide everything you need, and below are listed certain skills that might help you choose a volunteer role. Our organization needs to fill 36 volunteer slots; you can volunteer twice if you’d like, but must fill the same role. There are 6 daytime slots, and the remainder are evening or early morning. We’d love for you — and maybe a partner, friend, or adult family member — to join us.
We have cread a sign-up sheet and that gives the specific times of each shift. Please click on the following link to go to the sign-up sheet, then just follow the instructions on the page. It only takes a few seconds to do. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you details about how to book your complimentary hotel room and breakfast.
