VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

They say many hands make light work, and that is true when supporting our Rider Football program. We are looking for many volunteers to help with a variety of roles. They range from game day tasks such as concession sales or chain crew to behind the scenes work like organizing senior night or weekly team communication. Please sign up to learn more about how you can support Rider Football through volunteering. Volunteer Interest Survey – Click HERE

FUNDRAISING

We rely heavily on donations to both the player fund and our RAB Football Fund. The direct donations to the player fund and profits from concession and program sales funded the weekly pregame meals and several team dinners. While the team fund keeps the players fed, the bulk of the financial need is funded by RAB (Roosevelt Athletic Boosters) Football fund. Your direct donations to RAB Football, RAB merchandise and the Snap Raise funds allowed us to purchase upgraded helmets, football pads, on-field game analysis technology and of course our amazing athletic trainer (Casey Lougheed). We will continue these fundraising programs in the 2023 season, but Coach Daniels is also looking to add new and innovative fundraising ideas such as restaurant nights or car wash ticket sales to add to our efforts. If you have ideas or connections, please let us know HERE Volunteer-Interest Survey!

PAYMENT LINK FOR FOOTBALL PLAYER FUND
