Please consider volunteering for this important work.

Subject: Urgent Need for BOPO Volunteers This Friday

Tomorrow night is the homecoming game, and we are still in urgent need of volunteers to assist with raffle ticket sales.

Proceeds from raffle ticket sales are an important source of support for all IMD student activities.  They subsidize orchestra and band uniforms, offset the costs of tours, provide rehearsal dinners and much more.  The more people we have in the stands selling tickets, the better we can do for our students.  

We need just a few more people to help.  The homecoming game should have good attendance and alumni.  It will be a good night for us to raise funds, so please consider volunteering.

All volunteers receive free admission to the game.  Sales finish at half-time, so the time commitment is about an hour and a half.

Please sign up here.
