Eastside Memorial FC applies funds received by the Alberta Lottery Fund, through local Bingo and Casino events, to subsidize the cost of registration for the players in our programs. If you are interested in helping to volunteer for yourself and/or others in the community, there are many opportunities available!!  

What benefit do Bingo and Casino events provide? 
Gaming proceeds are used every year to support the Club’s overall objectives, programs, and services as approved.

This includes the following items:
- Administration costs (website, stationery, advertising, insurance)
- Facility Rentals
- Coaching Certification (training and education)
- League Registration Fees
and more…

Why should I work a Bingo or Casino event?
When individuals volunteer, it benefits everyone in the Club.  If we didn’t receive gaming proceeds, we would not be able to subsidize the costs of the program and player registration fees – PLUS you receive a program loyalty voucher and a concession voucher.
 
Who is eligible for the Vouchers and how can they be used?
The Bingo and Casino Fundraisers are open to ALL EMFC families
Anyone 18+ years of age is eligible to volunteer throughout the year. 

At the end of each event, the Bingo/Casino Coordinator will issue each volunteer their program voucher.
Each person must retain their personal copy, which is valued at an amount disclosed by the event. 

Volunteers who complete any shifts at the Bingo and Casino will receive a voucher that can be exchanged for your player registration fees, club apparel, team travel & equipment costs. Alternatively, vouchers may be exchanged for gift cards at the World of Soccer shop. 

To complete the exchange, Vouchers must be brought to the EMFC Administration during our open office hours.
