    Description

    Please be our Mascot for children at the Arizonans for Children Foster Festival!

    We need a fun and outgoing person to be our mascot. Our mascot suit is a thin, purple, full length suit with a detachable head, gloves, and feet. Rowdy, the dog, does not talk. We would love you to walk around to visit the kids and don't be afraid to get down on your knees. Help us bring smiles to the faces of these beautiful children. All outdoors for the event and you can take breaks as often as needed. Other mascot/characters include the Suns Gorilla, Ghostbusters, StarWars characters, Princesses, and GCU Thunder.

    Rowdy Character & Handler: Bring Rowdy, the Arizonans for Children mascot, to life by roaming the event in costume! We also need a handler to assist Rowdy throughout the day.

    Ideal candidate is between 5'7" and 6'3" tall, 130-230 lbs, active, and outgoing.

    Festival Information:

    The smiles on the children’s faces were something to behold. I overheard one child say," Dad, this was the best day ever." Children in foster care so rarely get to experience a day like Foster Festival. It is a day that they will never forget.
