FUNDRAISING Parents, we understand that this is an expensive and time consuming sport. The sport of competitive cheerleading takes a total commitment from the entire family. The Southern NH Spirit Boosters is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is the facilitation of fundraising activities to help offset the many costs associated with being a member of one of EAST CELEBRITY ELITE S All Star Teams. Expectation: If you decide to join boosters, you will be required to participate in all the Booster Club activities NO EXCEPTIONS!!. If you choose to be in the Booster Club, please be advised, if you start in Boosters and then drop for some reason, your monies earned will be distributed amongst the booster population. You can not receive cash for anything you worked prior (it is a violation of the non-profit rules). Below is a list of the 2016-2017 events we had. This can change, but it will give you some idea of what we will work. The number of required events will depend on how many sign-ups we receive for the Booster Club. GILLETTE: We have a large booth, which requires a staff of either 14 or 26 at each event, depending on the event. We are committed to attend all the football games (including playoffs if necessary), all full stadium events, concerts, and soccer games.. There is a central list that is kept for staffing. You sign up for events on a first come, first serve basis. Gillette will be paid out for everyone as checks are received (usually 10-12 weeks after the event). The Gillette events usually run from June-December and into January if there are playoffs. During the off-season, March-May, events will be offered, but not required. Please note if you sign up to work an event and do not show up or fail to give at proper notice of your unavailability to work, your account will be fined. If you find a replacement, you will not be fined. Also, it has been decided that if we have trouble staffing an event (including playoffs), all booster names will be placed into a hat and names will be drawn out to fill the unfilled spots. If your name is drawn, it doesn t necessarily mean that you have to work, but it will be your responsibility to find someone to work in your slot. The requirement for the 2016-2017 season was to work five (5) events. BOSTON COLLEGE CONCESSIONS: We staff football, hockey and basketball. Members are only required to work football games. All hockey and basketball events are optional but always full!! Boston College events usually run from September through March.
The requirement for the 2016-2017 season was to work one (1) football game. GYM SHOWCASE: This event is for all of our East Celebrity Elite teams, their friends and family. We staff the event in several areas (admissions, concessions, security, selling raffles or 50/50, set-up or breakdown of the spring floor and clean-up. This event is usually held just before our first scheduled competition. The requirement for the 2016-17 season was to work at the event for two (2) hours. MONEY CALENDAR RAFFLE: Each booster member sold money calendars, the requirement for the 2016-17 season was 10 calendars but you could sell above that to increase your earnings. To give you an idea of potential earnings, based on the above, the person that did just the minimum requirements earned approximately $800. However, if you want to work hard and exceed the requirements, we had members last year that earned as much as $6,000. Please note, whether or not you choose to be a booster member, you can take advantage of team fundraising opportunities. If you have an idea, bring them to your team parent. They will bring them to the board for approval (please note, there is no guarantee of approval the board acts in the best interest of the entire East Celebrity Elite program). Also, the Booster Club will be running extra fund raising like cookie dough sales (June), mums (September) and wreaths (November/December). These are not booster requirements. You do not have to be part of the Booster Club to participate in these sales events. Contact Information: The primary contact will be through personal email. Please feel free to contact us at any time. We welcome your feedback and would love to hear from you good or bad!!
