Stettler Hockey has raised over $28K in 3 years with tasty and profitable bacon fundraisers. This year, they raised half of their annual fundraising goal in just one campaign!
About Stettler Minor Hockey Association
Stettler Minor Hockey Association (SHMA) shows that small towns can bring on the bacon! Despite a population just shy of 6000, Stettler is making its mark in competitive hockey.
One recent achievement of the association is having one of their alumni players drafted into the NHL. Daylan Kuefler played for Stettler in his youth, then the Kamloops Blazers, and in 2022 was drafted to the New York Islanders.Â
With over 20 teams, the association supports youth athletes aged 5 – 17 in their hockey skill development.
Not only that, but their home rink, Stettler Recreation Centre has hosted several tournaments for Northern Albertan teams.
Behind the success of their hockey association are many dedicated volunteers: board members, coaches, and parents, and more.
Hockey is a hugely exciting sport with a strong community and it shows in Stettler. SMHA is able to combine the love of hockey and bacon into fundraising dollars to keep programming affordable for families.
Keeping Minor Hockey Affordable with Bacon Fundraising
We had the opportunity to chat with Tersha, Stettler Hockey’s current Fundraising Director.
Hockey can be an expensive sport and it’s Tersha’s job to find ways to raise money for ice time, equipment, jerseys, tournaments, referees, player development and any other administrative costs that may come up throughout the season.
Tersha has been with the club for 7 years and her son plays U13B. She has supported the club through several positions over the years and loves the opportunity to interact with other parents and be involved in decision-making and organizing as part of the board.
Stettler Minor Hockey has run three Bacon Fundraisers with TeamFund, but this year was Tersha’s first time leading the fundraiser:Â
“It was fantastic. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The quality of the product was amazing and the delivery was on time. The communication from TeamFund was great and the fundraiser was well-coordinated!”
TeamFund Makes Fundraising Easier!
This year, Stettler Hockey was able to raise over $10,600 for their organization. Parents and supporters love how delicious the bacon is, making it an easy sell!
In the past, the organization ran several fundraisers throughout the year, but Tersha is super excited that they were able to raise over half of their annual goal of $20,000 fundraising dollars with TeamFund’s Bacon Fundraiser this year.
As a result, Tersha’s job is easier! The association is likely only going to have to do one more fundraiser this year. Popular in the hockey world, they are looking forward to a 50/50 raffle with Rafflebox later this year.
You can follow Stettler Minor Hockey Association on social media to support the team.
Stettler Hockey shows that a small town can harness community support for big results! They have raised $28,745 with TeamFund since 2021 to help offset hockey costs.Â
Even though the fundraising director changes over time, the club still manages to raise more each year with TeamFund’s bacon fundraising.
2021 $8,160 | 2022 $9,974 | 2023 $10,611 |
ALL TIME: $28,745
TeamFund handles the logistics, payments, and tracking, which frees up Tersha’s time to do what she loves most: connect with the community to help grow their hockey club!
