RAIDER MEAL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Our Raiders work HARD — both in the days leading up to competition and especially on competition days. One of the most important ways we can support them is by making sure they have a good meal to fuel them, recover, and keep them going.
We still have several meal volunteer spots open, and we REALLY need our Raider families to help fill them!
Both Pre-Comp Meals AND Comp-Day Meals count as a MAJOR EVENT, so this is a great way to support your cadet while also earning your Major Event credit.
🍝 PRE-COMP MEALS
What it involves:
• Arrive around 4:00–4:15 PM to set up
• Meal begins at 4:30 PM
• Provide a meal for approximately 60 people — must be pre-approved
• Examples: pizza, chicken & rice, pasta with salad & bread, etc.
• Water will be provided
• A small dessert is welcome!
There are TWO volunteer spots per meal, so you will NOT be doing this alone! Once both spots are filled, we’ll connect you with the other family so you can coordinate the meal together.
🍕 COMP-DAY MEALS
Our Raiders work up quite the appetite on competition days! After hours of running, climbing, carrying, crawling, and giving everything they have, they need a good meal to refuel.
What it involves:
• Arrive at 12:00 PM at Riverdale to set up
• Meal is served after the last event is completed
• Provide a meal for approximately 60 people — all three Raider teams
• Meal must be pre-approved
• Easy options include pizza, sub sandwiches, etc.
• A small dessert is welcome!
• Help with cleanup afterward
Again, there are TWO volunteer spots per meal, so two families will work together.
❤️ WHEN YOU SIGN UP:
Please make sure each volunteer signs up individually and includes:
• Your cadet’s name
• Their team(s)
• Your cell phone number
We know that feeding 60 people can sound like a BIG job, but you don’t have to do it alone! Two families will share each meal, and we’ll connect you so you can coordinate everything together.
These meals may seem like a small part of competition, but they make a HUGE difference to our cadets. They are putting in the work, pushing themselves physically and mentally, and representing Blackman — and having their families step up to feed and encourage them means so much.
Please take a look at the sign-up and consider grabbing a meal spot. We truly need your help to make sure our Raiders are fueled and ready to do what they do best!
Thank you for feeding, encouraging, and supporting our kids. It takes a village, and we are so grateful for ours!
GO RAIDERS! 💪🏼
