SIX Volunteers STILL NEEDED for the RooFriends San Diego PRIDE Parade Parking Fundraiser THIS Saturday, July 16!!

A Message from the RooFriends Parking Committee: “This Saturday’s parking fundraiser may be the last of Summer 2022. Despite our assumptions (based on pre-Covid data of San Diego Zoo admission levels, Balboa Park events, etc) that the Zoo and Balboa Park would be very busy this summer and we would profit from parking hundreds of overflow cars, that has not been the case. We still hope to cover the NEW annual cost of SDUSD’s “facilities rental fee” so that we can schedule parking fundraisers for the 2022-2023 school year.

WITHOUT VOLUNTEERS, WE WILL HAVE TO CANCEL THIS FUNDRAISER.

THANK YOU to all the Volunteers who already contributed their time and can-do spirit this Spring and Summer. We hope MORE of the RMS Community will join the effort to raise funds for RMS Students’ enrichment education programs.”

If you are unavailable to volunteer, please consider a DONATION.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED THIS SATURDAY, July 16 (8:30 AM – 12:30 PM) for the RooFriends Parking Fundraiser for San Diego PRIDE Parade.

• San Diego Pride Parade 2019: RooFriends earned $4573 by parking 229 cars on campus.

• With demand, we may repeat 2019 and raise the funds needed to support Roosevelt MS Student and Staff needs. We will have this chance ONLY IF VOLUNTEERS SIGN-UP.

Saturday, July 16, 2022: The San Diego Pride Parade starts nearby RMS at 10:00 AM on University Ave. RooFriends  will open the campus at the Upas St. school gate at 9:00 AM to invite Pride visitors to park. Volunteers help by greeting visitors, spinning signs, operating as cashiers and direct traffic on campus. PLEASE SIGN-UP!!

MORE VOLUNTEERS = MORE FUNDING for RMS Student Programs!!

Without Volunteers, we pay personnelor we may have to CANCEL.

Volunteers are a major factor in the success of running the day-of operations of the Parking Fundraisers: cashiers, greeters, traffic directors and runners. Join RooFriends in the effort to fund AfterSchool Enrichment (ASE), Library Services, Teachers’ Classroom Grants and more!!

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ANY GROUPS YOU KNOW WHO ARE LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES!!

Thanks for Supporting RooFriends and RMS Student Programs!!
