VOLUNTEER / SUPPORT

Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to support the Mountain Ridge Football program and most importantly the players. For those that want to help but cannot volunteer time, financial support is always welcome.

HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED VOLUNTEERING:

MRHS Football Boosters Responsibilities Include:

Concessions - YEAR ROUND: Volunteers are needed year round for MRHS sporting events, communicated via Band and social media channels. The MRHS Football Boosters receive either 100% or a majority of the money raised from concessions year round (depending on event), and can always use an extra hand.
Game Day Programs: The MRHS Football Boosters has partnered with local publishers to put together a great Game Day program. Inside the program are local advertisements from our loyal sponsors, Spirit Line, Band, Player / Coach profiles and team information.
Team Meals: Volunteers needed to help in planning dinners to all players before every game - includes soliciting donations from local business sponsors.
Merchandise: Volunteers needed to assist with Mountain Lions clothing sales at the Merchandise booth during Home games and events.
Football Banquet: Planning the season-ending recognition and celebration event for all levels.
Fundraising Events: Assisting with the planning of several fundraising events throughout the year such as Golf Tournament fundraisers, and Lions Family Nights sponsored our community restaurants.
Chain Gang: Volunteers to handle chains and down markers at Freshman, JV and Varsity home games.
Off-Season Support: The MRHS Football Boosters support the players and coaches during the off season. Some items we support are the summer passing tournaments and camps.

Support

There are a number of options to support the Mountain Ridge Football program financially, via either direct donations, participation in fundraising events, or through tax credit donations.

The opportunity is now to make tax credit donations to help cover the expenses for your player for the upcoming 2024 football season. There are two separate options available that can BOTH be utilized; The Arizona Public School Tax Credit, and the Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO) tax credit.

The Arizona Public School Tax Credit permits up to $400 (married filing jointly) or $200 for filing single.

The BILT Foundation can be used as a Qualifying Charitable Organization where up to $841 (2023, married filing jointly) or $421 (2023, single) can be contributed. For 2024 tax returns (filed in 2025), these numbers increase to $938 (married filing jointly) and $470 (single).

For both of the above, these are tax credits and therefore lower the taxes you owe by this amount, effectively costing you nothing in the long run, while supporting your athlete and school.
