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 equipment, team events, year-end banquet, etc.
Families are expected to help with fundraising across the organization. The two major fundraising efforts are a bottle drive and a pub night.
Bottle Drive Expectations
1 bag of bottles
Kids will participate
Parents drive if they have a SUV/Truck
Pub Night Expectations
Purchase tickets to the event
Source a bottle of alcohol for the liquor basket – OR – source a donation from a business for the silent auction
A Donation letter can be provided for those sourcing a donation from a business
A volunteer cheque of $100 is required on in person registration days or by first day of practice. Optionally, you can pay out your volunteer commitment with $80 instead.
Once you have worked your volunteer commitment your cheque can either be returned or destroyed. If you have not completed your commitment by the end of the season your cheque will be cashed. If you have multiple kids in the program, you will only need to have one volunteer commitment.
Examples of what you can sign up for outside of staff positions:
Working sticks at home games
Banquet Planning Team
Bottle Drive Team
Pub Night Team
Equipment Organizing and Cleaning
BBQ’s
Board Members and Team Staff are exempt from the Volunteer Commitment.
