Volunteers Needed this Season

The Gridiron Club stays busy all season long, but two of our biggest ongoing needs are team dinners and merch & 50/50 raffle sales at games. This year, we’re hoping to expand merch sales to include home JV games as well!

We can’t make any of this happen without the help of our amazing East football families. Below you’ll find links to two sign-up pages—one for working the merch table at games, and one for helping serve team dinners.

Merch Sales

We’re looking for a few awesome parents (2–3 per game) to help run our merch sales this season! Duties include setting up the table before kickoff, selling throughout the game, and packing things up afterward. During varsity games, there’s an extra fun task—selling 50/50 raffle tickets!

If you’ve never done it before, don’t worry—you won’t be on your own. We’ll pair you with an experienced parent to show you the ropes. Ideally, JV parents will cover varsity games, and varsity parents will help during JV games so everyone gets to cheer for their own player.

Here’s the list of our home games this season

Varsity
Friday, August 22, 7:00 PM
Friday, September 5, 7:00 PM
Thursday, September 11, 7:00 PM
Friday, October 3, 7:00 PM

Team Dinners

One of the best traditions at East High is our Team Dinners the night before every varsity game. The Gridiron Club covers many of these meals—and we supply all the helping hands to make them happen. Each dinner needs 4–6 volunteers to set up, serve food, and clean up afterward. It’s about a two-hour commitment (6-8 PM) and a great chance to connect with players, coaches, and fellow parents.

Here’s a list of team dinner nights for the 2025 season:

Thursday, August 21
Thursday, August 28
Thursday, September 4
Wednesday, September 10
Thursday, September 18
Thursday, September 25
Thursday, October 2
Thursday, October 9
Thursday, October 16

We are also always looking for people willing and able to donate a team dinner. We have several dinners available this season. If you or someone you know can donate a dinner, please sign up and someone from the Gridiron Club will contact you for more details.

Thanks for your support of the Gridiron Club!
