As a school-sponsored, but self-funded sport, the annual Sportmen's Dinner fundraiser is critical to providing the necessary resources for the season including equipment, transportation, referee fees etc. Participation in the fundraiser through gathering donations and sponsorships, selling tickets, or working the date provide an opportunity for you to reduce your player's fee as well as ensures the success of the fundraiser. I have attached the document that describes this opportunity in detail.
The fundraiser is only three weeks away! We'd like to have the bulk of the donations and sponsorships collected and tickets sold before spring break. This will allow the board one week following spring break to fill in items where necessary and give our marketing volunteer time to create the program and other documents used during the dinner.
THANK YOU to those of you who have already secured sponsorships and/or donations or have sold tickets to the event.
Getting donations and sponsorships is easier than you might think! The Chelsea community is very supportive. The best place to start is the owners of the businesses you frequent. Ask your hairdresser/insurance agent/car dealer/mechanic/favorite restaurant etc. Please be sure to log your donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales on the signup genius that is located under the fundraiser tab on the website
www.chelsealax.org and right here:
This will help us make sure you get credit towards your player's fee as well as limit the same businesses being contacted multiple times. Feel free to reach out to any board member for more information.
Thank you!
