Imagine a fundraiser thatās as effortless as gliding across the ice āøļø and as delicious as a post-practice hot chocolate. āļø Thatās exactly what the Cochrane Skating Club achieved with their latest Fill Your Freezer campaign this Spring, raising over $1300 for their athletes.
About Cochrane Skating Club
Cochrane Skating Club is a vibrant community of about 30 skaters, along with dedicated parents, volunteers, and coaches. The non-profit organization has been nurturing a love of skating in their community for almost 50 years.
From building confidence and teamwork to fostering friendships and promoting fitness, the club goes beyond the ice rink, creating a supportive community for skaters of all ages.
Keeping registration fees low and maintaining top-notch facilities requires creative fundraising solutions. Maintaining a strong skating program requires dedicated coaches, athletes, and volunteers ā not to mention the cost of equipment, upkeep, and ice time.Ā
Fundraising ThatĀ Fits The Lifestyle
To keep fees low, the club highly encourages volunteer involvement from all community members: parents, grandparents, neighbourhood friends, or relatives!
Understanding parent funding needs and the importance of community involvement, fundraising coordinator Jeanine works hard to provide fundraising campaigns every 2-3 months to help opportunities offset their program fees.
Some of their other successful initiatives include candles, Thai Manna, and Spolumbo’s.
But traditional fundraisers or working directly with a vendor can often feel like a chore to gather order forms and handle spreadsheets to keep track.
One of their favourite fundraisers is TeamFundās Fill Your Freezer Fundraiser. In this fundraiser, families can stock up on grocery staples like bacon, burgers, and more and earn an average of 20% back from all sales.
Everybody eatsĀ and families appreciate healthier options that fit their lifestyle. While popcorn and chocolates are tasty; stocking up on grocery staples has been a better fit for their group!
Plus, organizers save hours with our online tools – from taking payments to real-time reportingĀ andĀ tracking profits by athlete, TeamFund makes it easy from sign up to delivery.
