Score! Blackfoot Hockey Association wins at Fundraising, Raising $11,000 to keep hockey going during the 2020 season.
Blackfoot Hockey Focuses on Accessible Programming Amidst a Unique Season
Spring 2020 was like no other. Many organizations like Blackfoot Hockey, were scrambling to figure out what was going to happen to their season and their players.
As things were being cancelled left and right, they didn’t want to lose players and were looking for an incentive for families to keep their players registered.
President Georgina and vice President Erin got together and found a solution that would help the families and the club at the same time.
“We know that this current state of the economy will affect our families in the fall. A loss of jobs impacts them, and we don’t want their kids to miss out on a season.”
Supporting Athletes with Practical Food Fundraising that Families Love
So they got busy and created a plan. TeamFund stepped in, and together we worked out a timeline, delivery location (Which had to be moved last minute due to heavy May rain!) and an appealing message to help spread to families that Blackfoot is here to help!
Over the spring/summer, their goal is to provide our members with opportunities to raise money to apply to your 2020/2021 season registration fees.
The first of these initiatives is our TeamFund fundraiser for Blackfoot Hockey! (They’ve come back every year since)
This fundraiser allows families to fundraise to reduce their next season fees away by Filling Your Freezers with Simple Simons Pies, Soups and Meals and Bow River Meats! 75% of all profits go directly towards reducing your players’ fees.
The other 25% goes directly into our Player Assistance Fund to help subsidize fees and cash calls for families who can not afford to pay.
This is a great opportunity to Skip the Grocery Store, Support Local and Reduce Costs.
Community-Focused Fundraising: Ready for BBQ & Hockey Season While Supporting Local Business
A true win-win for the community: supporting locals, by locals for locals!
In the end, they raised over $11,000 and helped out over 110 families! The feedback from members thus far has been extremely positive.
The best part, too, is that Blackfoot families supported two local businesses, Simple Simon Pies, Soups and Meals and Bow River Meats, as well as their Association.
“Everyone is fully prepared for barbecue season, and kids can quickly put pies in the oven!
Great work, Blackfoot!
