Calgary Canoe Club has raised over $17,000 with the help of TeamFund’s online fundraising with food.
This story reviews their 2022 fundraiser to support their competitive paddling programs. Adapting to their evolving needs by providing vegetarian and vegan options, the club returns once a year to fill their fridges and freezers and raise money.
The Calgary Canoe Club focuses its programming on youth and adult competitive paddling programs on the Glenmore Resevoir. Through this program, paddlers are able to develop paddling skills, meet new friends, and stay active and healthy.Â
It is all made possible by the staff and board, along many fundraisers that allow them to offset the cost of equipment and attending competitions. Once a year, they work with TeamFund Fundraising for part of their fundraising efforts throughout the season.Â
When they first started with TeamFund, Spolumbo’s and Bow River Meats were their favourites. Regularly running a meat fundraiser allows people to keep their fridges and freezers stocked, all while supporting a paddling program that allows people to get outdoors and build life-long friendships.
Over time, they began to request vegetarian and vegan options for their supporters. So the club switched to Fill Your Freezer combined with Thai Manna. With so many local vendors to choose from, TeamFund was able to adapt to the team’s needs year-over-year.Â
In 2022, Calgary Canoe Club was able to raise almost $1,800 towards their goal of attending the Canoe Kayak Championships.
TeamFund makes an easy fundraising idea, providing an online food fundraising platform for clubs. Without having to worry about order forms, carrying inventory, or chasing payments, the club volunteers can focus on promoting their fundraiser and ensuring everyone gets their order on delivery day.
