SHARE YOUR TIME AND TALENTS TO SUPPORT OUR CADETS AND THEIR FAMILIES

Picture
The Class of 2021 will be graduating in just a couple of months, resulting in several vacancies in the CPC Board. We will miss our 2021 families and thank them for the years of service they have provided to CPC! For those of us remaining, we NEED YOU to be involved and to think about the best ways you can share your time and talents. These are a few of the areas we will need help:
  •  Fundraising Chair - this is an elected board position. In this capacity, you'll be responsible for overseeing the Goodie Bag Chair and any other club fundraising efforts. In addition, you'll be reaching out to our community partners to seek funds for some of our activities (Tailgates, Colorado Night, etc.) and track donations received throughout the year. Contact our current Fundraising Chair for more details. 
  • Event Coordinator - this is an elected board position. The Event Coordinator oversees all CPC sponsored events. You'll serve as the link between the event committee chair and the CPC Board, ensuring for seamless continuity and communication. CPC events include the New Appointee Luncheon, I-day Picnic, A-day luncheon, Colorado Night, and End of Year Celebration.
  • Vice President(s) - this is an elected board position and can be shared. The Vice President(s) oversee CPC Public Relations, including the Webmaster, Tailgate Chair, and Photographer/ Videographer. You can reach out to our current Vice Presidents for more information.

PARENT'S WEEKEND INFORMATION FAIR | September 2021

​Please sign up to serve at the Colorado Parents' Club table at the Information Fair in Arnold Hall. Help all Colorado parents become aware of the benefits of joining our club. We will be taking goodie bag orders and inviting Colorado Parents to join our Club. Your time is appreciated and makes a difference.

FOOTBALL TAILGATES | FALL 2021

  • 2021 Tailgate Chair - Our CPC tailgates have become legendary, and we are hopeful that we can get back to having them next year. Next year's Tailgate Chair will be provided with an instruction manual containing easy to follow steps for putting on the best tailgates ever! This includes instructions for pre-season, in-season, and post-season duties.
​
​Looking for volunteers to be on the CPC Tailgate Committee.  We need a group of 4 to 6 people to oversee 4 different stations during our 5 tailgates next year's season.  We will ask for additional volunteers for each station prior to each tailgate, but the committee will oversee the volunteers.  Those stations are:
- Set Up:  Remove items from the on-site storage unit.  Setting up tents, tables, grills, etc. about 1 hour prior to the start of each tailgate
- Hospitality:  Organizing paper products, utensils, drinks, side dishes and desserts during the tailgate as well as emptying trash cans as needed.
- Food Prep:  Organize the hot food line and transfer food from grilling station to serving dishes.
- Clean Up:  Clean off and store all equipment back into the on-site storage unit.

Committee members would rotate through the different stations game-by-game.  No experience needed.

GOODIE BAG PROGRAM AND ASSEMBLY |  2021 - 2022

As our main fundraiser, this program requires many volunteers to be successful. For 2020-2021, we need committee members to help with coordinating volunteers, snacks and orders. Assembly and Delivery is all done in one day.
