STEP 7

CHECK IS DUE BEFORE THE SEASON BEGINS. You can bring it to the Ergathon or first day of Spring Practice. It can be collected by the TJ Crew President or Treasurer.
The $500 Volunteer Donation Fee payable to the TJ Crew Boosters is explained in the TJ Crew Volunteer Policy. This check is NOT cashed. At the end of the season, it is only cashed if the required volunteer points are not met. This is a check that we do not want to cash. TJ Crew needs volunteers to help for it to be a successful season. Checks will be destroyed or returned to families at the end of the season.
