CARP is Volunteer Partner for 100th Grey Cup

CARP is pleased to announce that we have joined forces with the organizers of the 100th Grey Cup Festival, to encourage CARP members to get involved in this historic and iconic Canadian event, as a volunteer.

Spearheaded by our Toronto-Downtown CARP Chapter Chair, Adina Lebo, CARP members from across the Greater Toronto Area are encouraged to register with the 100th Annual Grey Cup Festival as an MVP Volunteer.

There will be a wide range of exciting activities and events, including family events scheduled during the 10 day Grey Cup Festival–Film festivals, Awards ceremonies, a Speaker’s series, the joint Grey Cup-Santa Clause parade, team sponsored parties, music concerts, activities at the various venues around the city and of course the 100th playing of the Grey Cup.

Festival organizers recognize the wealth and breadth of experience that CARP members possess and hope to tap into that resource to help with what is sure to be a fantastic 10 days of Canadian Football fun.

Once you register and complete Part One of the online application you will have a good idea of the time commitment and assignments available and at the Volunteer Information Meeting (Sept 12th) you’ll get into all the details of volunteering with the Festival.  Finally, after the Meeting you will have an opportunity to go back online and choose the assignments and shifts that most appeal to you.

Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to Be an Integral Part of Canada’s Biggest Party This Fall!
