Conifer Baseball Families…
The Rockies Baseball Vouchers have arrived!
Here are the full details for the Rockies Ticket Fundraiser, which was covered during the fall parent meeting at the field.
We have reserved slots outside the Conifer King Soopers, this weekend for families wanting to get a jump on voucher sales. You can sell these vouchers at King Soopers, without having an out of pocket expense.
Voucher Pick Up:
Christina Haydon will be available for the first 30 minutes of practice tomorrow, Friday 12/13 and Monday, 12/16 for Voucher pick up. Please send an adult family member to sign (and pay) for the vouchers you are picking up. You can pay for your Rockies Vouchers with a check or credit card. If you choose to pay with a credit card, there will be a service fee added.
If you are unable to pick up the vouchers tomorrow or Monday, please contact Karen Kitchner at 607-725-6565 or Christina Haydon 208-724-7448 to make other arrangements.
Each player is expected to sell at least 15 vouchers at $50 per voucher, these will need to be picked up and paid for by 3/1. New this year, you may purchase the vouchers in any increment that works for you. If you want to pick up 5, sell those – then pick up 5 more, you can do that!
Group Sales:
Please contact: Karen 607-725-6565 or Christina 208-724-7448 to make a large group sale (17+ tickets) as the process works a little differently. You can also email Karen and Christina at lobosrockiesvouchers@gmail.com
Here’s how Vouchers fundraising works:
We buy ticket vouchers from the Colorado Rockies for a sharp discount off regular ticket prices. Then, when we sell those, we get to keep the proceeds for the program! When you sell a voucher, the recipient exchanges it for 2 seats to almost any Rockies home game! Turning vouchers into tickets is easy – just enter the voucher number on the Colorado Rockies website and pick your seats! Almost every 2024 MLB Playoff team is coming to Colorado this year, including the World-Series-Winning Dodgers.
Ticket vouchers make GREAT Christmas gifts! And the earlier you get out there and sell them, the more team/game/seat options you’ll have.
Who Benefits:
The Rockies Voucher Program is, by far, our biggest fundraiser – and every player in the program enjoys the benefits. It funds our 3rd-level high school team, a crucial development tool for players transitioning from middle school baseball to high school. For the older players, the Rockies Fundraiser allows us to offset over half the cost of the annual Spring Training trip to Florida! And, by selling enough vouchers, Conifer gets to play a real game on Coors Field!
Your Commitment:
Each player is expected to sell at least 15 vouchers – at $50 voucher – to support the program. Players failing to meet this commitment will be ineligible to participate in the spring training trip to Florida or the game at Coors Field, and may be ineligible from participating in other Conifer baseball activities as well. To be eligible for all Conifer activities, players will need payment – in full – for their 15 vouchers by March 1.
The good news is that players can start selling right now! I’ve attached a form to this email to start collecting voucher orders from your friends, family, or colleagues.
Resources:
Attached are resources to help you get started, including:
In addition, we’re working on a website page to host even more resources/information.
Bottom Line:
It takes a community to support a high school baseball team. And 15 Vouchers may be an ambitious commitment for some families. But sacrifice and commitment are necessary for anything worth doing. And you’re not alone! We’re with you with promotional materials, program information, and tips and tricks for selling. Together we can hit this goal!
Financial Hardship:
In some cases, families with legitimate financial hardship may qualify for decreased commitment levels. If you’re worried about fulfilling your obligation, reach out to The Conifer Baseball Boosters to discuss.
Top Sellers:
Players are encouraged to sell MORE than their allotted 15 vouchers. And families going ‘above and beyond’ in this fundraiser will have the opportunity to earn the following rewards! Last year, we gave out over $1000 in prizes to top-sellers. Review the top seller prizes.
