Fundraising
Information
One
of our favorite fundraisers with the parents of the spirit organizations
is working venues at Verizon Amphitheater, Alamodome and AT & T Center.
The parents volunteer for MacArthur Spirit
Booster Club and the money raised
goes into a general fund. Ten percent of all money raised goes into the
Spirit Club fund, five percent is divided among the three spirit
organizations and the remaining eighty-five percent goes directly into
your child's account. The monies raised are raised in the name of
MacArthur High School Spirit Booster Club Inc., and therefore can only
be used to pay for student expenses incurred within the spirit groups.
This fundraiser really helps to offset some of the expenses incurred and
it is a lot of fun too!
In
order to work these venues you must be TABC
certified. To work at the Verizon Amphitheater you must also attend a
Food Handler's class.
TABC certification can be taken online or you can attend a class. It
takes about four hours. For information on classes go to
