Miramar Air Show Volunteers
 

Squadron Volunteers raise money for their squadron funds by working in food and beverage sales.

Approximately 2,500 volunteers are solicited to staff food and beverage booths and carts during the four scheduled Air Shows, i.e. Friday, Saturday (Day & Twilight) and Sunday.

Booth Requirements are :

Food Booth (12 Person Team)

Beverage Booth (6 or 8 Person Teams)

Water/Beverage Carts (3 Person Team)

Ice Cream Carts (2 Person Team)

Commands and organizations participating in the volunteer program will receive a prorated percentage of all food, beverage and cart sales*.  In 2006, over $95,000 was provided to individual Command Recreation Funds and civilian community organizations.
*Approximately three weeks after the event.
