Leonard Hall commentary: KSD seeking volunteers to help gain grant - KansasCity.com
The Kansas School for the Deaf and Sertoma Club have sent e-mail messages trying to recruit 150 volunteers to work at the Kansas City Royals baseball game on Friday, July 16.
KSD has been selected as one of six charities for the 50/50 Fridays this summer at Kauffman Stadium thanks to KSD partnering with the Kansas City Sertoma Club. KSD has the opportunity to earn a grant of up to $5,000 at this one exciting event.
In order to participate, however, Sertoma Club, KSD and the Olathe community need to round up 150 volunteers.
That many volunteers would be a remarkable number for any organization to get for any event on any evening. Most nonprofit organizations are lucky to get 10 volunteers to show up at any one time.
For example, the Olathe Club of the Deaf has more than 30 volunteers who help at various times with many activities scheduled at the club throughout the year. Usually, three or four volunteers will be helping at the club on Saturday evenings with one or two helping on other evenings.
With nonprofit organizations in the hearing world, I can remember only a few times in which more than 30 volunteers were on hand to help in any one activity.
At the Old Settlers celebration, there are 20 nonprofit food stands. Each organization had an average of a dozen to two dozen volunteers helping throughout the weekend with four or five working any one shift
From the 1980s to 1990s, the Optimist Club sold Christmas trees. During four weeks, there would be two volunteers at work in an evening shift with three volunteers working on Saturdays and Sundays.
A fun evening is in store for the Kansas School for the Deaf volunteers working at the Royals game against Oakland. Volunteers will sell $1 raffle tickets to the general public at Kauffman Stadium from 4:30 p.m. until the bottom of the fifth inning.
Each volunteer will receive $10 in concession vouchers, free parking and free admission to the remainder of the game.
It will be a Friday night, so the Royals will have $1 hotdogs and a great fireworks display.
As of Friday afternoon, there were about 70 volunteers. Anyone can volunteer to help out on this fun night, although volunteers must be 18 years old or older.
