According to a letter he shared on Facebook last Saturday,
Hughes’ application to be a “friendraiser” was denied because he is non-verbal
due to a disability.
“Over the years, our needs for volunteer support during the
Festival have changed and evolved, and due to the nature of the current demands
on our Festival, we are now obligated to engage only those volunteers whose
skill sets match those of the job,” said the letter.
“For instance, all volunteers on the FriendRaisers Team
must now be able to actively communicate and engage with Festival Patrons, both
asking for donations and explaining how the Festival benefits from this
support.”
