LRA Volunteer Information
Volunteering matters!
It’s the time, resources and energy of our volunteers that makes LRA successful as a non-profit organization.
Association Fundraising
Fundraising for 2021-2022 is undergoing some changes to help ensure LRA remains affordable. The Board has set a target of ensuring fundraising revenues cover 20% of the LRA operating expenses on a year-over-year basis.
In order to sustain our success, the LRA depends on the parent/guardian of a player or player if over the age of 18, to volunteer for Association-related volunteer activities each season. The LRA Board of Directors will continue to identify and communicate these Association-related volunteer activities.
2021-2022 Updates to Volunteering Requirements
- LRA’s Fundraising focus for 2022 will be the Cash for Christmas Raffle.
- Each family will be asked to sell 2 books of 10 tickets per child, up to a maximum of 4 books for those with multiple children in Ringette.
- Team managers will serve as the key coordinators for each team in collecting money and tracking books.
- The $100 Fundraising Offset Fee will be maintained for 2022 season. This will be included as part of the registration.
- the board will assess any fundraising revenue brought in through Bingos, tournaments, or Casinos at the end of the season and where possible will provide a refund against this $100 Fundraising Offset Fee.
