Fundraising Policy
Fundraising is necessary to offset club costs and participation is required. Each family is expected to help raise money for the benefit of all of our skaters. Fundraising is tiered according to skating level. We only ask for participation per skating family not per skater. Therefore, families with multiple skaters participate according to the level of their most advanced skater. During our Casino years (Every 3 years) we ask families to volunteer for a Casino shift. Last Casino 2019.
