Gillette Fundraiser

The Bourne Skating Club staffs a concessions booth at the stadium and are obligated to work 2 soccer events, the concerts and all Patriots games. We earn a percentage of the sales of all food and non-alcoholic beverages served (12.5% plus 1% additional for booth cleanliness and 1% for being on time). The average for working an event last season averaged out to be $79.00 per person per event worked. This season we are not averaging but distributing funds per event.

It is a great way to help offset the costs of your skating bills. The monies earned at Gillette may be used toward freestyle ice bills, team related expenses, and walk-on ice sessions. Interest is increasing in working the booth because of the success of the syncho team and the TOI team so sign up early before the slots are taken! It is a great way to meet the other parents of the club. It is a long day but we have fun! This will be my 4th season working the booth and we have a great core group of parents so we hope you join in the hard work and fun!

I need 14 people to fill the booth for the big events and would like 16 to allow for breaks etc. You must wear khaki/tan pants or shorts and closed toe shoes. Gillette provides the shirts, visors and aprons. If interested in participating please contact Caryn Mori at 508-224-4524 or at tcmcmm92@verizon.net or Gillette@bourneskatingclub.org

Once committed to an event date, member must make every effort to fulfill that commitment A volunteer who cancels within 7 days will then be removed from a subsequent event as determined by the Gillette coordinator. This event will be decided based on staffing levels. In addition to removal from a future event, if Gillette has to provide fill-ins because of a no-show, then the volunteer will be docked from their Gillette account, the amount of money charged against the booth by Gillette. A second offense will result in the individual only being allowed to go on the stand-by list for the remainder of the season, as well as being docked the appropriate amount charged by Gillette.

5. A standby list has been established. The standby list is created for fill-in purposes. If your name is on the list, you must be available until the morning of the event. Only four (4) people can be on this list for any given event. If an event is not full seven (7) days prior, the Gillette Coordinator will call the fill-ins. Priority for fill-ins will be given to families not already signed up to work the event.

6. Only two (2) volunteers age 17 and under (minors) are allowed at any given event per rules issued by Gillette Stadium. All minors will be provided a list of the required duties while at Gillette.

7. Monies earned at the Gillette fundraiser may be applied to a member’s ice costs, test sessions, and directly billed team costs. Monies cannot be used for membership dues.

Prior to the first event worked, the coordinator will meet with volunteers to go over duties/expectations. A copy of this policy and guidelines will be given to each participant. Also, policy and guidelines will be posted on the BSC website.
