Fundraising Commitment
Fundraising requirements for 2012 are as follows:
-
Grey Cup Pool Ticket Book sales – one per family (does not count towards volunteer requirements); and
-
Each registered player (parent) is required to complete two (2) volunteer positions. In past years volunteer
options have included Home Games, Silent Auctions, and Canada Day Concessions:
-
Home Games: this includes 50/50 ticket sales, operating concessions, and game down marker holders (“sticks”, “chain gang”).
Once game schedules have been determined by the league, our Fundraising representative(s) will be contacting you with dates,
times and positions available. Only one 50/50 or “sticks” position allowed per family.
-
Canada Day Concession at Castledowns Recreation Centre (July 1st): two “shifts” are available: 10:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. (includes set-up)
and 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. (includes take down).
-
Some parents don’t have the time or desire to volunteer and simply choose to pay the fee and not participate in volunteering. Although
we would obviously prefer volunteer assistance, we understand time restraints and accordingly, this option is also available to you.
Please let the Registrar know at the time of registration if you choose this option.
Volunteer options for 2012 may include some or all of the above, and/or other fundraising initiatives as they arise and are decided
by the Board.
The deposit of two, $100.00 undated Volunteer Cheques will be returned at the Awards Banquet if fundraising obligations have been fulfilled.
If you fail to fulfill your volunteer requirements, the corresponding number of cheques will be cashed.
The North Edmonton Minor Football Association is a non-profit association and accordingly, we rely heavily
on fundraising and sponsorship. Money raised through these efforts is used for the year-end banquet, etc.
Volunteers Needed
The North Edmonton Minor Football Association (N.E.M.F.A) – Edmonton Seahawks club has expanded since 1991, thanks to the support
of our many hard-working volunteers. We have grown from one team to six or more, depending on registration. N.E.M.F.A. is a non-profit
association formed under the Societies Act of Alberta on July 2, 1993. There are no paid staff members within the organization.
In order to maintain this vibrant program for the children of North Edmonton, we must continually recruit new volunteers to carry on
where others have left off. Any effort put forth would greatly enhance the delivery of another successful program for our kids. If you
are able to contribute some of your time to this football season, please contact Marv Mills (780-456-1941) or Mirella
Horner (780-478-3305). Areas of concern are as follows: Coaches, Trainers (First Aid Qualified), Managers, Fundraising, Sponsorship,
Year-end Banquets, Recruitment, and Grants.
