I’m reaching out on behalf of the motionball Calgary Gala, an annual fundraising event supporting Special Olympics athletes across Canada. The 2025 gala is on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at The Ampersand in downtown Calgary.
We’re inviting student photographers and videographers to volunteer from 7:30 PM – 11:30 PM to help capture the event. It’s a great chance to:
- Gain real-world event photo/video experience
- Build a portfolio/reel with professional-quality work
- Network with ~500 guests from Calgary’s corporate, social, and philanthropic communities
- Support a cause that’s helped raise $20M+ for Special Olympics nationwide
What We’re Looking For
- Photography: Event coverage (candid & atmosphere), Images shared post-event for use on motionball social channels and future promotional materials.
- Videography: Event highlights and atmosphere footage, Raw footage and/or a short 30–60s highlight (horizontal or vertical) for use on our socials and promotional materials. If preferred, raw footage alone is fine—our team can handle editing.
What Student Volunteers Receive
- Credit and tagging on Instagram and at motionball.com/calgarygala (for photo and video)
- Option to stay and enjoy the gala after 11:30 PM, plus a +1 guest
How Students Can Respond
Interested students should email Mackenzie at calgarygala@motionball.com with:
- Name, program/year, and best contact info
- Role of interest (photo, video, or both)
- Portfolio/reel link(s) or sample work
