Each Player must raise a minimum of $500 by puck drop to participate in the Tournament and we're here to help! See below for the 5 steps to exceeding your fundraising targets.

STEP 1: GET STARTED TODAY

The first step in any successful fundraising campaign is to get started right away! Once Registered, login to customize your Participant Support Centre with a unique photo and story that illustrates why you're participating.

STEP 2: DRAFT YOUR LIST OF POTENTIAL DONORS

List anyone and everyone that could donate to your Campaign Friends, Family, Colleagues, Neighbors and Clients, etc. and then upload their contacts quickly and easily into your Participant Support Centre.

STEP 3: ASK

Draft, send, track and manage your personalized fundraising request directly from your Participant Support Centre.

STEP 4: FOLLOW UP

Continue to ask and remind those who have yet to donate to your campaign. People are busy, and sometimes they need that extra little nudge. Don’t forget to thank those who have already given.

STEP 5: TAKE YOUR EFFORTS OFFLINE

Compliment your online fundraising efforts with other ideas such as a car wash, host a dance, a road hockey tournament or by selling unwanted goods line the possibilities are endless!

There are several ways you can ask your company to support you! Talk to management about a donation from the company or about donation matching. Corporate teams are also a great way to increase your fundraising, all while encouraging team building and adding to your company’s social responsibility.

Q. What If I Receive Cash Donations?

A. If you’ve received cash or donations, you have two options: 

1. If you have your donors first and last name and e-mail address you can use your credit card to make the donation online but be sure to provide the correct donor details for tax receipt purposes. Once the transaction is complete you keep the cash and your donor will receive the tax receipt via e-mail.

2. Hang onto the cash donation, and submit it with a completed offline donation form on game day.
