There are countless fun and simple ways to fundraise for your hockey team!
When logged in, you can check out your Personal Fundraising Page.
Through the Cedars Hockey to Conquer Cancer website, all hockey teams and individual players have the chance to tell their own story and share with family, friends and networking on why you are choosing to participate. You can post images and provide up to date progress on your fundraising as well as provide your supporters with an easy way to donate to you and your team!
The money is not for you. Everyone has been or will be affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly, at some point in their lifetime. It affects us all and people are usually very aware. When asked for a pledge, donors often commend you for doing your part and support you. But you have to ask!
Everyone likes to get dressed up once in a while, so why not have a dinner party! Charge people for the dinner ($20 or $50), tell them to bring their own wine and make it a real sit-down affair. Everyone enjoys a great meal with friends, it is cheaper than going to a restaurant and all the proceeds go towards your team and, ultimately cancer care.
Ask your employer if you can charge a small fee in exchange for allowing staff members to “dress down” for the day and have all proceeds benefit your hockey team.
Everyone loves a sweet treat! Have some fun baking cookies, cakes and other sweet treats and sell your homemade delicacies! This idea is not too costly and can be done fairly regularly.

Auction off a 1/2 day of work: Ask your employer if you could auction off one or more 1/2 days at work. The top bidder will get a half day off and you will collect the funds to put towards your team.
Let your friends, family and coworkers know that instead of simply recycling their used bottles and cans to give them to you to get the refund to put towards your team... every dollar counts!
