The OMSPTSO is partnering with the

Stoughton Boosters Club

to raise funds for our Youth!

 

Come work and have fun at the same time!

The Stoughton Boosters Club  mission statement is to articulate both short and long term planning goals that help ensure that all kids that want to participate in a youth related programs within Stoughton, not just sports but any youth related program,  can - to continue to build Stoughton into the kind of community that people want to be a part of and participate in.

The OMS PTSO is dedicated to supporting the staff and programs that enrich the studen'ts time at the O'Donnell Middle School.

 

Here is how it works….

The OMSPTSO supplies volunteers to work in the Gillette Stadium concession stand, that the Stoughton Boosters have contracted for during thebelow events.  The Boosters did this so other youth groups in town like ours did not have to sign contracts yet could participate in the great fundraising programs Gillette offers. Fro each volunteer we supply, our group earns 10% of the proceeds. There fore if we supply 9 volunteers on any given event we earn 90% of the money made. This is an opportunity to earn a few thousand dollars in just one day!
