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 Gold Card Discount Card 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
Gold Card Discount Card Fundraiser
Each member will pay $80.00 per enrolled class and receive 5 Gold Cards (buy 4 at $20.00 and get one free). Max of 2 sets per family.
Sell all the cards and you make your money back PLUS a profit of $20.
The Gold Card is a customized discount card with 3 key tags and 16 punch outs that are a “one time” use or multiple use coupon. The back of the card includes local merchants that offer a discount that is good every day for one year. The card sells for $20 and a customer will get over $100 in instant savings plus the remaining discount for an entire year.
Sessional classes pay 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 $25 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.
