National Volunteer Appreciation Week - Vancouver Whitecaps FC



National Volunteer Appreciation Week was celebrated at the game on Saturday for our Whitecaps FC Volunteers.  To show our appreciation for them as an organization, they were given cupcakes and a Whitecaps Scarf as a thank you gift.  There were plenty to go around and there were many shocked and happy volunteers as a result.


It was also the first day of Trivia Challenge.  I have made up at least eight trivia challenges in which volunteers will have an option of taking part in randomly throughout the season.  Correct answers go into a draw at the end of the night for three Whitecaps swag prizes.  The first trivia challenge was a Whitecaps Word Jumble.  Twenty Whitecaps soccer related words that needed unscrambling.  It was interesting to see the level of skill of our volunteers.  Some found it easy while others found it "challenging".  But it was fun to see everyone huddled around their tables with their teams trying to figure the words out.  You could tell they were having fun. 

 

The three lucky winners were extremely happy at the end of the night and I received really great feedback from the Team Leads about the trivia challenge from their own teams. As far as the soccer game went, the Whitecaps FC went on to draw Dallas FC 2-2.  Overall, it was a fun night.  Looking forward to surprising our volunteers with more trivias and giveaways throughout the year.
