Fundraiser Updates 2024
Nonprofit and Fundraising Information:
With the nonprofit in place we will start fundraising activities this week. Our objectives is two fold: Individual and Organizational.
- Individual: Raise money to help pay tournament fees and other expenses for individual players. This will be from money raised based on individual efforts. ie, popcorn or item sales, etc.
- Organizational: Raise money for travel or other expenses for teams. This will be from money raised via donations, or organizational fundraising efforts. ie, donations.
Tournament Fees:
This year’s tournament fees will be around $120,000 for all teams. This roughly breaks down to $800/per player. (We will have an exact figure in February. We are still waiting for league fees to be announced. We will also take tournament fees already paid into account).
Our first invoice of half the amount will be sent out Feb 1st and the second one on April 1st. Those invoices will be minus your funds raised.
Example 1: Player A raises $600 dollars from their individual efforts. Player A’s total owed will be $200 ($800 – $600). The invoice sent on Feb 1st would be for $100.
Example 2: Player A raises $900 dollars from their idividual efforts. Totaled owed will be $0. The remaining balance raised will be available for Player A to use as needed for approved purposes: Gear, Uniform, Dues, Travel etc.
Money raised at an Organizational level will be available around March.
