We need some help in the count room on April 17, 6:15 p.m. to 3:15 a.m.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up and some who are back-ups.
Volunteers make our most important fundraiser a rip-roaring success.
April 16th and 17th, 2024.
At Pure Casino Edmonton 7055 Argyll Rd NW, Edmonton, AB T6C 4A5
With our Casino funds we’ll be able to keep building toward our goal of building a brand new community league hall while continuing our stellar programs and services in the community.
Volunteering at our casino is a massive help and will likely contribute about $80,000 dollars over two years of operating.
There are a variety of roles. Volunteers must be 18 or older and have photo identification to volunteer for this.
