Fundraising Fee Explained

Each player’s registration includes a $150 Fundraising Fee, which is paid upfront to the association as part of your total registration cost.

Here’s how it works:

• In the fall, the association will run a fundraiser (typically involving raffle tickets or similar).

• Parents will receive tickets to sell to family, friends, or coworkers.

• You keep the money from ticket sales—no additional payments go back to the organization.

• This means you can recoup your $150 fundraising fee by selling the tickets provided.

This system ensures the fundraiser is prepaid and simple for everyone!
