FUNDRAISING DUTIES
We are currently seeking new fundraisers for players to participate in to offset the cost of Club Fees. The reason we are
able to offer quality affordable soccer is that we rely heavily on our fundraising efforts. A few fundraisers we participate
in are :
1. Chocolate Candy Bar Sale – Every child receives a $30 credit per box sold
2. BBQ Plate Ticket Sale – Every parent is expected to participate in selling tickets (5 tickets) for our end of
season Festival/Plate Sale
