VOLUNTEERING

Contact 2pwylla@gmail.com

An event of mOOseman’s magnitude needs many hands and minds to come together to be a success. Given the scale of this year’s event, it is critical that all pARTicipants volunteer to assist in some capacity to make the event a success.

Mooseman will provide for a limited number of hardship tickets this year.  These tickets will be available at a lower price than the general admission prices. The hardship tickets provision is made for people who are truly in need and may not be able to otherwise attend the event.

“HARDSHIP” TICKETS
We want to make an inclusive community, so there are a limited number of “hardship” tickets available at a lower price than the general admission prices. The are designed for people who are truly in need and may not be able to otherwise attend the event.

If interested, please email mmmike at <mmmikemmmelt@gmail.com> . Mmmike will be reviewing the applications. You may need to give a bit of your situation, but the surest way to convince us is to explain how you’re going to participate. Not sure how?
