Bucky's Locker Room (BLR) is Camp Randall Rowing Club's fall fundraiser. Bucky's Locker Room, located within Camp Randall Stadium, gives CRRC four booths at each of the UW home games to sell UW licensed merchandise. In exchange, CRRC receives a significant amount of revenue. The booths are staffed by volunteer rowers and parents. Each booth needs to be staffed by a minimum of two people, which means we need at least eight volunteers per game. That's fifty-six people volunteering once for the seven game football season.
BLR requires at least one person in each booth to have worked a booth in 2009 or to have attended a formal training session in 2010. The training is held at Bucky's Locker Room, which is on the field level of Camp Randall Stadium just inside the main entrance on Monroe Street. This year, the training is tentatively scheduled by BLR for Tuesday, March 17, 2010. The training lasts about one hour.
Working at the booth is about a 6 hour commitment. About 3.5 hours before the game, the volunteers meet in front of the main entrance to the stadium and receive passes for game day. They are required to set-up the booth, sell merchandise before, during, and after the game, and then reorganize and put away the merchandise. Volunteers are dismissed at the end of the 5th quarter.
In 2010 there are seven home games:
- September 11 vs. San Jose State
- September 18 vs. Arizona State
- September 25 vs. Austin Peay
- October 9 vs. Minnesota (Homecoming)
- October 16 vs. Ohio State
- November 13 vs. Indiana
- November 27 vs. Northwestern
We strongly encourage and depend on you to help CRRC raise needed funds by volunteering at BLR. For 2010, the funds raised from BLR will go to help purchase a new (used) truck for transporting boats and equipment to/from the regattas.
If you would like to volunteer to work a shift, or sign up for the training, please contact TBA, volunteer coordinator at EMAIL ADDRESS TBA.
