Casino Fundraiser - Volunteers Needed! 

We have a casino fundraiser October 22-23 that requires several volunteers. These fundraisers usually raise $75,000 - $85,000 that is used for things like educational equipment, funding field trips, and bringing additional learning activities to the school. 
At this point, we are looking to collect contact information from as many volunteers as possible. Any adult can sign up, so if you have a friend or family member willing to help out, please encourage them to volunteer as well. Please email the members of our school's fundraising organization, Friends of Connaught, at tmdgreer@gmail.com (Matt) and dlebary@gmail.com (Daorcey). 
All roles have on the spot training from our paid Cage Advisors (they work for us!) If you can follow basic step-by-step instructions, you can do ANY position. They will help you each and every time until you feel comfortable. These roles are genuinely easy, and a fun way to get to know people associated with our school.  

Cowboys Casino has free underground parking. Alternatively, we will reimburse any required taxi fares for volunteers. All volunteers receive complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic drinks and a meal from the casino designated restaurant.

There are many ways you can contribute to our school’s success, and make a difference for our school and our students. In our school, this can include providing in-kind donations, contributing cash and lending expertise and technical knowledge. Connect with our principal on what may be appropriate. For more information on ways to give to CBE, visit the Donate page ​on the CBE website.​​​
