In addition to these expenses, tournaments are 100% volunteer run and each team is expected to provide volunteers for each tournament they attend.
Opportunities to Reduce Fees
We would strongly prefer to have your help and support over collecting these registration fees. To that end we offer the following opportunities to support the boosters organization in lieu of fees.
Any family who has a parent volunteer as either a Team Manager or Board member will have their registration fees waived for all children participating.
Any family who volunteers to organize a fundraising event will have their registration fees waived for all children participating.
Volunteer Opportunities
In 2024/25 we will volunteer at Taste of Buffalo serving non-alcoholic drinks to attendees. This is a fun fundraiser and is a great way for the whole family to get involved as there is no age limit and even young children can effectively help. This years event is on July 11 and 12 2026.
If you are not able to participate in the Taste of Buffalo fundraiser for any reason please feel free to reach out to the board to propose other fundraising options. In the past we have done letter-writing campaigns to local businesses, spaghetti dinners, etc.
