Club Spotlight: Lions Volleyball | Calgary, AB

About Lions Volleyball
Lions Volleyball is a competitive volleyball club in Calgary, Alberta affiliated with Ambrose University. The club competes in the Volleyball Alberta Provincial Stream and supports athletes across multiple age groups.
Their mission is rooted in building a family environment, developing leaders, and creating an authentic community, providing athletes with a safe, positive, and competitive experience that encourages personal and team growth.
The club’s culture is guided by its Lion PRIDE values: Passion, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Effort.
In February 2026, Lions Volleyball raised $6,858 to help cover programming costs for their athletes with a Bacon Fundraiser with TeamFund.
Common Volleyball Fundraising Challenges
Competitive volleyball gives athletes an opportunity to train consistently, compete at a higher level, and build confidence and leadership skills.
But strong programming comes at a cost, and the group is committed to providing athletes with a positive competitive club experience.
Like many volleyball clubs, they needed a fundraiser that could:
- Support programming costs
- Provide value to families and supporters
- Be easy to share with a busy sports community
- Offer a product people would actually want to buy
The bacon fundraiser is a practical fit, where supporters can purchase 100% Fresh Canadian Bacon that they could use at home, and support Lions athletes at the same time.
With the club kicking into full gear in December, they decided to start in January rather than rush into a launch before Christmas, giving families a better window to participate.
Lions Volleyball Fundraising Results
The timing allowed the club to begin fundraising after the holiday rush while still covering program costs for the upcoming season.
🥓 Their 2026 Bacon Fundraiser brought in $6,858 for the club in just one campaign.
For a values-led club like Lions Volleyball, fundraising not only relieves financial pressure but also lays the foundation for a stronger competitive season.
What Made This Volleyball Fundraising Idea Work
With TeamFund, Lions Volleyball Club was able to:
- Offer a simple online fundraiser without managing paper order forms, collecting cash, or organizing manual payments
- Give supporters a product they are excited to buy instead of novelty or small items they may not need or want
- Raise funds for club programming and relieve some financial pressure on athletes and families
- Make participation easy for a busy volleyball community with one shareable fundraiser link and online ordering
- Keep the process organized for the club without creating hours of extra administrative work for coaches or volunteers
- Stay focused on staying competitive while TeamFund provided a platform for taking orders and payments, easy-to-read reports, and a simple delivery process
When supporters purchase something practical, participation becomes an easy yes! Families can share the fundraiser with confidence, supporters receive high-quality bacon they’ll actually use, and the club receives the funds they need to compete.
We’re proud to support Lions Volleyball Club as they continue to build a strong community.
