Opportunity Description:

Last year, we had 10+ volunteer groups selling 50/50 tickets at Halifax Wanderers games and it was a huge success – a total of $60,000 raised with a little over $30,000 being committed to the United Way Halifax Community Fund to support 35 community agencies in the Halifax Regional Municipality.  REQUIREMENTS: Minimum 15 volunteers, max 20. 2.5hours-3hours of volunteer time total. DUTIES: using a electronic 50/50 machines to capture debit or credit card payments (no cash is involved) – Soccer games are all-weather (except for when there is a storm/thunder & lightning, league will make the decision). United Way will contact the volunteer group 2-3 days before a match with reminders of location, timing & an update on the weather if needed New: This year, our volunteer tent will be supplied with tables, chairs & plenty of water for volunteers. We have added an extra +5 50/50 ticketing machines, and all volunteers will be provided with a highlighter-yellow vest for visibility on the grounds!
