Ontario Skater’s Lottery Booklets
A $40.00 fee will be added to the 2010 Fall School registration form, for which each skater in the STARSkate and Competitive streams will receive an Ontario Skater’s Lottery Booklet.
Once all the tickets in the booklet have been sold, you recoup your initial investment of $40.00. You may either keep the tickets for yourself, or sell them – it is your choice. There are some wonderful prizes to be won!
Booklets for the 2010-11 season must be returned to the Club Office by JANUARY 7, 2011.
The lottery draw will take place during the Trillium STARSkate Championships in March 2011.
Used Skate and Clothing Sales
Gloucester Skating Club holds two annual skate sales. Proceeds from these fundraisers directly support the Competitive Team in September and EOSIC team in January.
Skate Sales are a great way to buy and sell used skate wear, while also contributing to the Gloucester Skating Club.
Watch the Events Calendar for details.
FundScrip
Register for FundScrip, the program that turns everyday purchases into earnings.
This program allows you to earn money on the items that you normally buy on a regular basis while helping to support your athlete’s development financially. A win-win situation!
How it Works
1. Register online – it is Free and easy! Go to www.fundscrip.com Click on Sign Up (top right hand corner), provide the sign up information required. You will be asked to enter GSC’s invitation code, which is: HPL6DY. Confirm your Sign up (you will receive an email at the address you signed up with).
** As of February 1, 2010, existing FundScrip members will be charged a $20 annual participation fee. You will see the charge on your statement of account as you would any other charge. **
2. Buy Gift Cards from over 150 retailers (e.g. Superstore, Loeb, Esso, Petro Canada, Sears, Starbucks, Canadian Tire, etc.). Orders can be made online every two weeks with payments made by Electronic Fund Transfers or Credit Card.
3. Purchase groceries, gas, clothing, etc. as you normally would with Gift Cards.
4. FundScrip pays back a % of Gift Cards purchased (percentages range from 2% to 15%). Note: Credit card purchases are charged an additional fee of 2.25% and are therefore NOT RECOMMENDED!
5. GSC will allocate 100% of the Club’s earnings to individual skaters’ accounts calculated based on their monthly purchases. These earnings can be put towards your child’s ice fees.
NOTE: The Club is in a position to offer 100% at this time. Should the Club’s position change in the future we may have to change the profit-sharing split.
