Winter Concessions/Fundraiser
The Swan Valley Athletic Association is in need of groups / organizations to work the Swan Valley High School winter basketball concession stands. There are 21 home dates, mainly doubleheaders and triple headers. 2-3 workers would be needed per night with at least one adult supervising. The SVAA will pay out to the groups and / or organizations that would like to work. This would be a great fundraising opportunity and a way to be involved with Swan Valley Athletics. Payouts to each group will be at the end of the season with possible bonuses depending on sales. Students may also receive community service hours.
If interested, please sign up on the linked sheet below or let me know and I will do it for you. Also make sure you communicate with your volunteers so you have the required number of workers. The work hours are listed in the document. Please let me know if you have any questions. Go Vikings!
