Fredericksburg Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities is actively seeking public support in the form of Volunteerism and Financial Sponsorships.
Volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of how Parks & Recreation functions. We utilize volunteer help to defer costs of our programs - so that they may be offered to everyone for a reasonable fee. Volunteers help with:                  - Coaching Youth Sports Teams                  - Volunteering at special events such as:                             Soap Box Derby                             First Night Fredericksburg New Year's Eve Celebration                             Children's Art Expo                             Hobgoblin Hike                             Halloween Community Party                  - Volunteering as instructors or aids for sports programs, leisure programs, and camps. Did you know that ALL of our COACHES are volunteers? Our coaches give of themselves to make sports a fun and meaningful learning experience for so many children in our community. No expert knowlege or experience is required, just a desire to work with kids and help them have fun with sports. We have a large library of resouces and helpful sports staff to help with any coaching questions that they may have. Please email us for more information about volunteering. Last year, our department received over 20,400 hours of service and support from volunteers! That is nearly equivalent to 10 full-time employees working 40 hours a week, year-round. Wow. We wouldn't be nearly so successful without volunteers like you! Scroll down to see how we thank volunteers through our Annual Recreation Commission Volunteer Banquet.
Sponsorships
Sponsorship with a financial contribution is another way that a business or individual can put advertising money to good use in our community. Sponsorships are accepted for:                        Special Event Sponsors:                        Sports Team Sponsorships                        Motts Run Reservoir Renovation Program Special Event Sponsors are welcome for Lunchtime at Hurkamp Park Concert Series, Rappahannock Regional Soap Box Derby, First Night Fredericksburg, Music Under the Stars Concert Series, and Children's Art Expo. Click here to email the Event Coordinator for more information. Sports Team Sponsors are also a great way to spend just a little advertising money and reach a large number of people. With a donation of $250 for one season, the Team Sponsor gets their company logo on the team jerseys, a team plaque with a team picture, and an inivitation to the end of season team party. With two or more team sponsorships, the business or individual is invited to the Annual Parks & Recreation Volunteer Banquet and is duly recognized and honored for their community spirit.
