The Junior Olympics has asked the Booster Club and fans to find 40 volunteers to help out with the games. In exchange for working 40 shifts and helping the Junior Olympics, the Booster Club will be awarded $400 to assist with supporting the 2009-2010 Buccaneer team. This contribution will be significant in assisting both organizations. The Junior Olympics will be held on July 27th through August 8th around various sports venues in the Des Moines Area.
Here is some general information on the AAU Junior Olympics:
The Junior Olympic Games will bring in an estimated 35,000 visitors to the area. This includes 14,000 athletes who range in age from 8 to 18 who will be competing in 20 different sports. We have sent information to coaches and athletic directors in the Metro so they can get information to their athletes about the opportunities to compete in this national championship.
The Junior Olympic Games set the stage for Des Moines as a future venue for several other high profile athletic events. Des Moines will be the site of future National Championships in Track & Field as well as NCAA Tournament Games in Basketball. The J.O. Games will inject $25 million into our economy and also promote the state of Iowa as a leader in health and wellness. Des Moines citizen’s and groups like yours, who step forward to get things done, are a major reason these events are attracted to central Iowa.
