🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP, ADS FAMILIES! 🚨

We are still in desperate need of volunteers for our upcoming casino in Fort McMurray on September 22 & 23, 2026.

Our casino is an incredibly important fundraiser for Athabasca Dance Society and helps support our dancers and keep our programs running. In order for the casino to be successful, we need volunteers to fill the remaining shifts!

✨ BONUS: Families who volunteer for the casino will have their volunteer commitment covered for the 2026–2027 dance season!

If you are able to help us out, PLEASE reach out! Even if you’ve never volunteered at a casino before, no experience is necessary and you’ll be shown exactly what to do.

We truly appreciate everyone who gives their time to help support ADS and our dancers. 💜

📅 September 22–23, 2026
📍 Fort McMurray
