General Inquiry
What is the Fundraising Booklet? |
---|
The Fundraising Booklet contains 20 $2 tickets for the Ontario Skaters’ Promotional contest. Each STAR family purchases one booklet of tickets, which they have the option to keep or sell. The annual draw takes place in March, and previous prizes include Ford Mu stangs, Plasma TVs, Travel Certificates, Computers and Apple iPads. For every bo oklet sold, the FSC receives $22 , and this revenue allows our Club to offer a wide variety of programs for our community. The remaining $18 is used by the Skate Ontario to create bursaries that ar e distributed across the province . Please submit ticket stubs before February 18 .
