Calgary Young People's Theatre Casino Fundraiser
July 3-4, 2008

On July 3rd and 4th, 2008 CYPT will be the volunteer organization chosen to help run the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. This is CYPT's biggest fundraising event of the year, as CYPT will receive a percentage of the Casino's income that night for our efforts. But we can't do it without you! In order to run the casino, we need your help.

We need to have a volunteer for each position crucial to the Casino's activity, for the shifts listed below. Please take a look at the schedule and let us know if you are able to lend a hand and work one of these shifts. The money raised from this event will help fund CYPT classes, camps and productions alike. Your support translates into an even greater experience for the youth involved in our programs.

All positions will be assisted by an experienced Casino Advisor, and no experience is necessary. You will receive on-the-spot training, as well as free food and beverages from the casino restaurants.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are able to volunteer for this exciting opportunity! Our email address is: cypt@cypt.ca and our number 403.230.2664. Your support would mean a lot to us, and to Calgary's children who benefit ultimately from the funds we raise.
