Where do EEU Families Sign Up for this event?
Because all proceeds support the entire EEU, we rely on all-hands support from our EEU families to run this event. All EEU students should plan to sign up for at least one volunteer shift. Students do earn Community Service hours so check-in with Student Leadership for times. There are also 50 adult volunteer shifts and concession donations needed.
Whether you want to volunteer some time or donate to concessions, you can make a difference today by signing up.
EEU students really do appreciate your involvement!!
