The Houston Aeros, Team Mascot Chilly and the Aero Dynamics participate in numerous community activities throughout the year including visits to hospitals, schools, and events for charitable organizations.
The Aeros attempt to fulfill as many appearances as possible; however due to the amount of requests we receive, not all can be honored.
HOW TO ARRANGE AN AEROS PLAYER APPEARANCE
Requests must be received through our online request form (below). Phone and email requests will not be accepted.
►Requests made at least four weeks before the event have a higher chance of being approved.
►Upon submission of the online request form, you will see a confirmation on the webpage. Please note this is only a confirmation of the request. This does not confirm that the appearance has been approved.
►We will review your request and notify you by email or telephone if your request can be accomodated. Due to the high number of requests the Aeros receive, only events which are approved will receive a reply. If you do not receive a reply, the Aeros were unable to fulfill your request at this time; however, we encourage you to resubmit for another upcoming event.
►It is important to include as much detail as possible on the appearance request form regarding the activities the players would take part in at your event.
►The Aeros reserve the right to cancel an appearance at any time due to schedule changes, illness, emergencies, etc., and every effort will be made to provide an alternative appearance.
