The Raffle Coordinator is responsible for securing raffle prizes for the end of season Pizza Party. Also the sale of raffle tickets to families through the Team Parents.
RAFFLE/PIZZA PARTY GUIDELINES
As soon as Jamboree date has been confirmed, work with Volunteer Coordinator to establish date and location of Raffle/Pizza Party. It is usually during the final week of school, after the Jamboree, intersquad games and a U15 game at ARHS. When date has been determined, secure location. In past it has been the Neary Pavillion or the Rt 135 Pavillion. Whichever location requires permission of Recreation Department or Principal and completion of a School Use form. Agreement is that we use cafeteria only in case of rain and restroom use is monitored. Since we have not paid for custodial help, trash is disposed of in dumpster after party and area is left clear of debris.
RAFFLE PRIZES: In the past, many raffle prizes have been supplied by the Treasurer, along with 10-12 clothing/gear items ordered by Clothing Fundraiser. About 35 player-oriented prizes in total.

There will be Pizza, Cake and drinks for all the boys. There is no charge for this event. Please just show up and have a good time!
We also hold a very fun Raffle with great prizes!
Please look for your team parent who will have raffle tickets available starting this weekend. They will also be available at the Jamboree and will be available until 6:45 PM at the party. Tickets cost $10 each or 3 for $25.
Over $2,000 worth of prizes will be awarded!!!
Team parent or team raffle volunteer sells tickets at games and practices the last two weeks of the season. The goal is for each family to purchase at least one $10-ticket. Keep track of who has been contacted on roster. They keep the part with the number, and the program keeps the part they have written their name and phone number on in case they win and are not present.
Team Parent or Team raffle volunteer returns proceeds and ticket stubs to NSYLA Raffle Coordinator prior to the Pizza Party. NSYLA Raffle Coordinator announces winners at Pizza Party (least expensive prizes first).
NSYLA Raffle Coordinator also purchases appreciation gift certificates for Cannons Coordinator, Field Coordinator, Referee Coordinator, Registrar, Treasurer and President.
