TeamFund makes its first visit to the Maritimes, exploring Amherst, Halifax, Moncton, Fredricton and many other cities along the way to introduce our online food fundraisers to schools, sports teams, and community groups in the area.
Bringing TeamFund Fundraising to Nova Scotia & New Brunswick
This Fall, our founder, Dominique, had the incredible opportunity to head out East and introduce TeamFund Fundraising to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ā a trip that was both exciting and inspiring.
The goal? Explore how our team fundraising platform can support passionate schools, sports clubs, and community groups in the Maritimes.
Landing in Halifax: Meeting Our Partners Who Deliver Fundraising in Nova Scotia
Dominique first touched down in Halifax, crossed into Darmouth, and drove through Windsor and several small towns along the way. The warmth and hospitality were remarkable: open, friendly, and full of community spirit.
One highlight was visiting our supplier, Gordon Food Service in Amherst. They have a massive distribution network reaching from Western to Atlantic Canada. With proven success from our partnerships with Gordon Foods in Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, we are excited to offer these easy and profitable fundraisers in a new area.
Their logistics network ensures that fundraisers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick get reliable deliveries five days a week, a game-changer for local schools and teams.Ā
Journeying to New Brunswick: Local CommunitiesĀ
From Amherst, Dominique drove into New Brunswick, visiting Moncton, Fredericton, and other smaller communities along the way.Ā

Each town had a classic Maritimesā character ā tight-knit, welcoming, and proud of their local programs and sports.Ā
A quick day trip to Shediac during Lobster Fest (eating like a queen!) served a friendliness and pride that made it clear why these communities are such a perfect fit for TeamFund, fundraising people care deeply about supporting one another.Ā
As a Francophone, Dominique was thrilled to connect in French with local organizations in New Brunswick, adding a personal touch to every meeting.Ā
Introducing Bacon Fundraising in Nova Scotia & New Brunswick
Another highlight was the opportunity to introduce our Fresh Bacon Fundraiser to groups in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The bacon fundraiser has become one of TeamFundās signature fundraisers and a favourite for people trying out our online fundraising platform for the first time.
Bacon fundraising is an easy, fun, and delicious way to raise money for sports teams and schools. Itās simple: sell premium, locally sourced Canadian bacon and keep a minimum of $20 profits per box sold. Itās one of the easiest ways to raise funds and something supporters consistently get excited about.
- š„ Sell premium, locally sourced Canadian bacon (no flimsy stuff here!)
- š° Earn a minimum of $20 per box sold or 20% (whichever is greater)
- š» Easy online tools – just share your link and supporters shop online
- š Get free delivery to one central location when you sell 50+ boxes *
*May vary by region – find out if we deliver to you!Ā
The feedback from groups we met in person was overwhelmingly positive. Coaches, parents, and organizers loved how simple the bacon fundraiser is to run and how quickly it can bring in meaningful results. Many say they plan to make it part of their next hockey fundraiser, football fundraiser, dance fundraiser, or swimming fundraiser.
Hereās what groups who have already tried this fundraiser across other Canadian cities have to say:Ā
From start up to delivery this fundraiser is a well oiled machine. Very organized and great support throughout. Fantastic products that truly sell themselves. Weāre hooked on theĀ bacon.Ā – Calvin, Google Review
TeamFund was amazing! They did all of the work, I only had to give them the details for the fundraiser. We decided to do theĀ baconĀ fundraiser. They were able to connect each sale to a player so we were able to keep track of how many each player (family) sold. I had many people tell me this was a great idea for a fundraiser and I completely agree. Side note, theĀ baconĀ tastes amazing!!Ā –Melody, Google Review
Our baconĀ fund raiser practically sold itself. Just a few things to complete when we signed up and TeamFund did the majority of the heavy lifting until pick up day. Our group was very happy about everything being purchased on-line so we didn’t have to manage the money personally. Our group was very happy with the direction provided by TeamFund, the value for our supporters, and the product. We look forward to working with TeamFund again. –Angela, Google Review
TeamFund has easily been the best fundraiser we have used! The communication, marketing strategies, and the selling platform makes everything seamless. This fundraiser has become an integral part of raising funds for our program, and we will surely be repeat clients every year! –Ā Shantel, Google Review
