FUNDRAISING and VOLUNTEERING

Fundraiser/Volunteer Bond Fees:

Can Skaters

$125 = $200 in sponsorship or $125 in Fundraising and/or 3 volunteer credits

Star Skaters

$200 = $300 sponsorship or $200 in Fundraising and/or 5 volunteer credits 

This fee is paid at time of registration, and is given back as credit on your account after you have completed your requirements. This is processed after our year end ice show on April 30th. The amount credited is determined by how much sponsorship, fundraising and/or volunteering you have completed. You can only be credited to the maximum bond amount paid.

Why do I have to provide a Fundraiser/volunteer bond? 

Just like most other non-profit sports organizations, fundraising and volunteering helps keep the club costs down, which in turns keep our registration fees down.  We are required to have National Certified Program Coaches during all of our sessions and these coaches are paid, not volunteers.  On top of paid coaches, we have ice rental fees, off-ice activities, and supplies which increase every year.  Registration fees alone do not cover Strathroy Skating Club's ice rental and coaching fees. 

 

All families are required to provide a Fundraiser/Volunteer bond.  Failure to provide this bond, skaters will not be allowed on the ice until the bond has been received by the Strathroy Skating Club at time of registration.

 

How do i get my fundraising?

Throughout the year, we offer many opportunities to fundraise for the club such as:

• Carmichael meats
• Elmira Chicken
• Cinnabon
• Halo Car Wash
• Flipgive
• Mint Smoothie Chocolates
• ETC.
