A substantial source
of funding to both the Athletic Boosters and the general athletic
department budget comes from the proceeds of the Sunday night bingo
operation. The Boosters receive 17% of the net, which is our largest
revenue source. The remainder goes to the Athletic Director, and
represents his second largest income stream.
As with any venture of
this scale, the bingo requires a significant support staff to keep it
running smoothly and profitably. The primary positions (i.e., Floor
Manager, Banker, Caller, etc…) are staffed by members of the Booster
Board of Directors. They work on teams that are assigned to a specific
week of each month. Other jobs require the assistance of the parents
of student athletes. Things such as working the snack bar, paymaster,
and selling pull-tabs on the floor can only be done with the resources
of these parent volunteers. As specified in the student handbook,
parents of student athletes are required to help at one bingo during
the year, per athlete, per sport. For example, if you have two student
athletes that each plays two different sports, you would be assigned
four times during the year.
The proceeds derived
from the bingo are crucial to the financial stability of our athletic
programs and facilities. We thank the parents who regularly do their
part to keep the bingo a robust source of income to meet those needs.
