Fund-Raising - 2010-11
As a club sport, our teams do not receive financial assistance from the Baldwin-Whitehall School District, USA Hockey, or the PIHL. The cost to operate is raised through player fees collected and community fund raising efforts.

Mandatory Fund-Raisers
For the 2010-11 Season, there are two mandatory fund-raisers:
Voluntary Fund-Raisers
The Club is considering wether to sponsor the following voluntary fund-raisers and will continue to explore additional programs and implement them as appropriate:
Fun-Raising Night
Friday, November 19, 2010
7:00 - 11:30 PM
Broughton Fire Hall
1030 Cochrans Mill Road
Fun Raising Night is our biggest fundraiser. Its success depends on every family's help and full cooperation.
Each player's family was responsible for selling ___ tickets at $___ each. Everyone at the event was required to have an admission ticket, including all volunteers and parents.
One parent per player was required to work this event at either set up or during the evening. If anyone could not work the event, it was their responsibility to find someone over the age of 21 to work for them. Any player family not represented at the event was assessed a $250 fine payable before their child practices again. NO EXCEPTIONS. Hopefully, everybody signed up for a task on the sign-up sheet that was circulated at parent meetings. Workers needed to arrive at the Broughton Fire Hall at 6:00 PM for set up.
We collected items and baskets of items for the Chinese Auction and for door prizes. We also asked families to solicit local businesses for donations to help our event. Last year we had over 35 baskets with values of over $100 each. If families did do not want to solicit businesses, we asked them to give a monetary donation of at least $10 so that the Club could purchase items for our baskets.
Pasta Too catered this nignt-at-the-races, Monte Carlo type event. The Club provideed unlimited free beer, soft drinks, tonic, sours and ginger ale. For any other alcohol, B.Y 0.B.
Each player was also responsible for selling two horses at $20 each. Horse forms were due before August 31, 2007 to Lori cass, or the team business manager.
All "Fun Raising" money (together with an actual count of the number of people attending), Chinese Auction baskets and individual items,and door prizes should have been delivered by September 7, 2007 to:

Outback Steak House Restaurant – Under Consideration
This fund-raiser will probably take place in January / February and will be credited to your 2008 / 2009 account. This has been a successful fund-raiser used by the Baldwin Baseball Team. It will take place on a Sunday. Each family will be given the opportunity to sell tickets for dinner. The dinner is a full course meal from Outback at their McMurray Road location in Upper St. Clair. The entire profit will go to Baldwin Hockey. This is fund-raiser that Outback offers to the community. We are waiting for more details on this fund-raiser before it can be confirmed.
Readers Digest Magazine Fundraiser - Under Consideration
The Readers Digest Magazine Fund-Raiser is a great opportunity to raise money for your individual account without much effort. A store would be set up for Baldwin Hockey, and each player's family would be emailed the account information and link to the store. It would be up to the individual families to e-mail this information to persons (anywhere in the U.S.) who currently order magazines or who might consider ordering a subscribtion to a magazine. For each magazine ordered from your link, you will receive a 40% profit.
