Fundraising

Fundraising is a very important part in running a healthy, financially stable club. As a non-profit organization, Springers Gymnastics relies heavily on the fundraising efforts of its members.

Mandatory fundraising

All members of the club are expected to take part in fundraising efforts. Monies collected are allocated towards the purchase and repair of gym equipment and building.

All members are required to participate in the Chocolate Bar Fundraiser and the yearly program participants are required to participate in the Raffle Fundraiser. 

Raffle Fundraiser

One of Springers’ major fundraising efforts is an annual raffle, held each May. Past incredible prizes have included trip packages and cash gifts. Every class level has a fundraising fee associated with it. Raffle tickets in that amount will be issued to parents each March. Once distributed, parents may:

  • Sell them and recover the fundraising fee
  • Fill them out personally and hand them in, hoping to win the prize

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser

World's Finest Chocolates - $3.00 each NUT-FREE variety pack of 30 bars.

The Chocolate Bar Fundraiser is a mandatory fundraiser purchased at the time of registration.

There are two options for this fundraiser:

1) Purchase the case of chocolates for $75 and sell them to make your money back and a profit of $15.

2) Opt out of selling the case of chocolates by paying the mandatory fee of $40.

Daytime sessional programs participate in the Chocolate Bar Fundraiser once per calendar year.

 

Volunteer Hours

Each stream of KIPS & Competitive has mandatory volunteer hours designed to build strong camaraderie among gymnasts and families while helping to grow the club and keep costs down. All families are encouraged to apply the mandatory Volunteer hours to an installment payment in June. Your account can then be credited any Volunteer hours worked. If the hours are not fulfilled, families will be charged $20 per hour for each Volunteer hour not worked. An up-to-date record of volunteer hours is kept in the gym's office for your reference. 

Optional Fundraising

In addition to the mandatory fundraisers, optional fundraising is offered throughout the year to those in the competitive program, including Regional Stream, JO Stream & National Stream. Monies raised through these fundraisers are able to be applied directly to a child’s individual travel fund to cover costs like airfare, hotel, vehicle rental or other competitive costs, like required bodysuits or entry fees to competitions.

Parents can request these funds as the need arises, simply by filling out the applicable form through the gym office. After a form is completed, the funds will be withdrawn from your child’s account and transferred to pay for required costs.

If this money is not used in one year, it can be carried over into the next.

Please note: If a gymnast leaves the club, the money they raised will be allocated to the general travel fund.
