FSCJ Mascot Appearance Requests
In an effort to service the numerous requests we receive, we ask that you please review the mascot appearance policies below and fill out the following form completely. Your submission of this form represents a request only and does not guarantee an appearance.
- Requests must be submitted a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the appearance using the online request form linked below. Requests cannot be submitted over the phone or by e-mail.
- The required online form is only a request form, and we cannot guarantee that every mascot request will be filled. Our mascot team is staffed entirely by student assistants who complete an official tryout and receive training in mascot performance.
- Priority is given to College-related requests.
- Due to the large volume of requests and schedule fluctuations from our mascot team, appearances are not confirmed until ten business days prior to an event.
-
For the safety of our mascot team, all appearances are strictly limited to no more than one hour in the mascot suit.
- Mascot suits are not available for rent.
-
Requestor must provide a private location for the mascot to change and provide a secure, safe place to store any personal belongings and mascot storage bags -
not a public bathroom, closet, public space, etc.
- Requestor must provide a parking spot close to the event site for the mascot to park if the event is off campus. If there is any charge for parking (meter, parking garage, etc.), the Requestor is to pay for this in advance and/or provide a parking permit (if applicable to the event site).
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations are rare and the mascot team will do everything in their power to complete approved appearance requests. However, with a team made up entirely of student assistants, situations including illness, class conflicts, personal emergency, etc. may occur.
We reserve the right to cancel any mascot appearance up to an hour before the event.
