There are a lot of things going on this season like our movie night fundraiser, which is on October 4 and the planning of our 50th anniversary year celebration. VASS is looking for some people who are interested in volunteering away from the mountain tops to help get all these incredible events up and running. Check out the details below to find out who you can contact for more information.
Annual Movie Fundraiser
FUNDRAISING TEAM: We are setting up our Big Annual Movie Fundraiser. November 4th is the date, we are showing the new WARREN MILLER movie and there will be more details to come.... but we need some helpers now to collect online auction items. SO, if you have access to a company that would like to donate something, or if you have some extra time to do a little hunting for goods and services for the auction, please email James at info@vass.ca and let us know. We have all of the support material that you may need a to make the asks easier and faster. We will be using the 32 Auction platform again, so anyone with data entry skills, would be a welcome addition.
MARKETING TEAM: This is going to be an incredibly fun task. For the first time ever we're going to be running two different shows. An evening show, with higher ticket prices and a more adult vibe and an afternoon show which will be targeted directly to child and teen athletes, where we will have a presentation from a top athlete or sport psychologist before the movie. This presents two very different marketing strategies that need to be discovered and executed. A great learning opportunity for anybody who is in school for business or marketing or as anyone who has expertise in the space.
50th Anniversary Committee Members
Board member Amelia Gillies has stepped up as chair for all things 50th anniversary. We are currently looking for volunteers to join committees that will help us discover the exact direction we're moving in and how we're going pull this off. We are looking for 5-10 people per committee. Please reach out to Amelia at amelia@vass.ca if you have any questions, and please check out all the descriptions of committee positions below.
FUNDRAISING: though the focus of this event is not to be a fundraiser, there is obviously a great opportunity to do such a thing. At the moment, all ideas are on the table! The only certainty is a live auction will be held. We are looking for people with great big ideas and ways to pull them all off. Our hope is to raise $100,000 which will be split with BCAS, our partners in this adventure.
MARKETING: very few things have been solidified but we know that the event will be held at the WALL CENTRE. We are looking to sell about 500 tickets at the lowest possible price coming in somewhere between $50 and $75. Being our 50th anniversary, we believe there will be many news opportunities to tell our story and let people know about the festivities. Beyond that, we need to develop a strong direct and indirect marketing campaign while using the reach that we have through our internal networks and social media platforms. Anybody with experience in this space would be welcome as well as anyone in school for business or marketing.
EVENT: Although we do have a location for this event…that's about it. Some ideas that have been discussed are an apres-ski party that allows participants to come dressed in whatever decade apparel makes them the most joyful, 1970-now. But we would love the input from some people more creative than us. To be successful in this committee you will likely need to be creative, passionate, and open to collaboration. The space will need to be transformed on a shoe string budget or perhaps donated by the movie industry. Hopefully someone has a connection they are willing to share.
