ASSOCIATION FUNDRAISING
Stony Plain Minor Hockey Association (SPMHA) operates as a non-profit organization, relying on registration fees, fundraisers, Bingos, and Casinos to cover essential costs such as ice rentals, referee fees, Hockey Alberta and EFHL League fees, Minor Hockey Week fees, coaching clinics, administrative costs, and other expenditures. Your active participation in fundraising is critical to keeping registration fees affordable and ensuring the success of our programs.
Each season, SPMHA asks that each player contribute $200 through fundraising. This amount can be:
- Included in your registration
- Sent via e-transfer to registration@spmha.net (include your player’s full name and division in the message)
- Provided as a post-dated cheque (dated January 15th) to your division director at the first evaluation skate
To help families meet this fundraising requirement without incurring additional out-of-pocket expenses, each player will receive forty $5 raffle tickets (40 x $5 = $200). Families have the option to sell these raffle tickets to friends, family, and the community. By selling all your tickets, you can recover the full $200, ensuring your fundraising contribution is met without extra financial burden.
The deadline for completing the $200 fundraising requirement is January 15th. This ensures compliance with SPMHA’s Policies & Procedures and is required for your player’s continued participation.
Please note that while this fulfills the association’s annual fundraising obligation, individual teams may have additional fundraising initiatives, which will be discussed during your parent meeting. These could include tournaments hosted by SPMHA, team tournaments, or other team-specific activities. Your cooperation and support in these efforts help sustain and grow our hockey community.
Thank you for being an essential part of SPMHA!
