Fundraising

New Fundraiser!
The Bowie Band Boosters are trying a new fundraiser and we need your help. This fundraiser is "economy proof" in that we get paid for hours worked and not sales. The Band Booster have lost, for various reasons, a number of fundraisers this year (Trader's Village, Friday Cookie Sales, and Movie Studio Grill card) and MUST make up a significant shortfall in our budget. Without your help, the Booster will not be able to meet our goals.

We believe that Cowboys Parking can help the Band Boosters support the Band. We are parking cars at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, and the Band Boosters get $10 per hour for each Volunteer that works. We have signed up for 2 more events with more to come in the coming months. We need 25 total people for each event - the Band has AT LEAST 15 shifts to fill for each event with other groups (Orchestra, Barnett Band, etc) filling the rest.
Schedule for upcoming games:

• Sunday November 22 - 7am to 1pm - Cowboys vs Redskins
• Sunday December 13 - 9am to 4pm - Cowboys vs Chargers
• Saturday December 19 - 7am to 2pm - Basketball - UNC vs Texas
• Sunday January 3rd - 7am to 1pm - Cowboys vs Eagles
• Sunday February 14th - unknown times - NBA All Star Game

Volunteers for these events must be:

• At Least 18 years old
• CANNOT have a beard or goatee
• Must be able to stand (walk around) for 6-8 hours
• Must be friendly to customers
• Understand they are working OUTSIDE in whatever weather is present.
• WE DO NOT HAVE TO HANDLE MONEY - so no ISSUES there!!!

OTHERWISE, volunteers can be Band Parents, Band Members, Band Directors, Orchestra Boosters, Relatives, Friends, ANYONE willing to help.

SHIFT TIMES

The Shift Times listed above are the approximate times we will be working at Cowboys Stadium. Usually, we will carpool from Bowie 1 HOUR prior to the listed START time for an event, and we should be back at Bowie 30 minutes to 1 HOUR after the listed END time. For Bowie Band Booster Volunteer hours, we will credit each Volunteer who works an entire shift the time from when we leave Bowie until we return to Bowie.
