Fundraising
The Seine River Skating Club is a non-profit organization that does not receive ongoing funding from municipal or provincial bodies. To help keep program fees as affordable as possible, families registered in specific programs are required to participate in fundraising.
At the time of registration, each family will be charged a fundraising commitment fee, which must be paid by the first lesson. This is for the Cash Raffle fundraiser. Unless otherwise noted below, fundraising items will be available for pick-up early in the season.
2025-2026 season’s fundraisers include:
-
World’s Finest Chocolates
Each skater will be required to sell one box (or choose the $50 buy-out option). Each box raises $50 in profit for the club. -
Cash Raffle
A $50 cash raffle ticket bundle is included with skater registration, this was noted as the 'fundraising commitment fee,' during check out. Tickets will be distributed by November, with the draw taking place at the end of February, allowing families plenty of time to sell. -
Additional Fundraiser (Intro to STAR and STARSkate programs)
Families in these programs will have an additional fundraising activity in the new year. More details will be shared closer to that time.
World’s Finest Chocolates Fundraiser:
- Parent volunteers are especially needed during the CanSkate and Pre-CanSkate programs to help with distribution. If you can assist, please contact our fundraising coordinator, Laura Parr, at laura.parr@live.ca.
- Information including pick up, deadlines, etc. will be made available once the chocolates will be ready to be distributed. (stay tuned)
- The club is anticipating to distribute chocolate boxes by mid-October.
- If you are choosing the 'opt out of selling option' cash or cheque made out to 'Seine River Skating Club' will be accepted. This needs to be handed into the Fundraising Coordinator (NOT THE COACHES) please hand directly in an envelope clearly noting which skater this is for.
Thank you for supporting our skaters and helping us keep skating accessible for everyone!
