Fundraising


FUNDRAISING 

Teams can generate funds through licensed gaming events (like 50/50’s and raffles) and other fundraising events (like bottle drives and silent auctions).   

Teams may plan, budget, and fundraise for the following purposes: 

  • tournament team registration fees 
  • additional ice rental 
  • dryland training facilities 
  • referees for exhibition games 
  • team equipment (pucks, pylons, etc.) 
  • player expenses, such as team bus, players' only hotel expenses, and other travel expenses incurred by the player (not players' family members) 
  • other player development expenses 

Gaming Rules 

JDFMHA Gaming POLICY: 

  • All gaming events (50/50s, Raffles, etc.) require Gaming Director approval and a BC Gaming License 
  • For gaming events, the requestor must ensure the JDFMHA Gaming Policy and BC Gaming policy is being followed, including ensuring proper reporting 

 Find the Gaming Policy Download here  

Failure by members of JDFMHA to follow these rules could jeopardize the approval of future gaming fund requests made by JDFMHA. The Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch granted our Association $100,000 this season, from its gaming revenue, which has allowed us to purchase such items as extra ice from our home arenas. Should an audit be conducted and our Association is found to be "not in compliance' with the reporting requirements, we risk losing future grants; therefore, everyone's registration could go up in the area of $150 per player. JDFMHA is a community organization and we will continue to give back to the community at events like our annual food drive on picture day and at our tournaments throughout the season.  

 

Gaming EVENT REQUIREMENTS: 

Anyone running a licensed gaming event will be required to follow the BC Gaming reporting requirements. It is recommended License holders print the two documents below and keep them on hand with your BC Gaming license at all events. 

 

Documenting the List of Winners: Download Here

At the time of the draw(s),a list of winners must be completed, signed and witnessed by at least two volunteers.  

 

Obtaining the Prize Winner’s Signature: Download Here

Winners are required to provide their signature before claiming prizes for gaming events. 

 

Gaming records can be scanned or emailed to the Gaming Director at gaming@jdfminorhockey.com. 

 

Gaming License Request Process: 

Note: Gaming applications take time and have a number of steps to ensure that JDF remains compliant with BC Gaming. 

 

  1. At least three weeks prior to your fundraising event, fill out a 50/50 Gaming License Application form or a Raffle Request Form depending on the type of fundraising being done.    
  2. Forms will be sent to the Gaming Director at gaming@jdfminorhockey.com for approval. The Gaming Director must approve all fundraising activities involving gaming.  
  3. For online services only (i.e.: if you plan to use RaffleBox), JDF must secure a General Services Agreement prior to applying to BC Gaming. This Agreement must be linked to Juan De Fuca Minor Hockey Association. 
  4. Once all necessary documents are received, the Gaming Director will apply for a BC Gaming license. BC Gaming requires a minimum of 10 business days to process licenses and cannot expedite last minute license requests. 
  5. After the event, the requestor must notify the Gaming Director with the completed Gaming Summary Report 

Fundraising Ideas 

Teams can participate in gaming events that don’t require a gaming license. These events could include bottle drives, silent auctions, card programs, etc. 

 

BOTTLE DRIVE INFORMATION 

JDFMHA has predetermined bottle drive routes available for teams. ?? 

  1. Complete the Bottle Drive Request Form to schedule your bottle drive and have a route reserved 

 

  1. Acquire a BC Hockey Sanction Number - BC Hockey online sanctioning form (at least 7 days ahead which covers insurance) and have the following information available: 
  • Date of Bottle drive 
  • Company being used for bottle drive: Alpine or Bottle Depot 
  • Sorting location 
  • Team name 
  • Team contact name and email address (Day of Bottle Drive contact as well if different) 

** Some sorting locations require our JDF Secretary (secretary@jdfminorhockey.com) to book the location. (ie: SD62 parking lots booked under SD62 and the park & ride, booked under WSPR. Make sure you have your BC Hockey Sanction Number first) 

 

  • After you receive your approval email with Sanction number(4 digit number in subject line), forward the email to the JDF Gaming Director at gaming@jdfminorhockey.com who will then review the application and issue the team a route.  

 

JDFMHA BOTTLE DRIVEGUIDELINES 

Teams are allowed to do more than one bottle drive per season but  you will have to request a new route and sanction number for every bottle drive you plan. 

Teams are allowed to flyer their given routes but you are not allowed to put flyers up in your own neighborhoods. You can get friends and family members to drop their bottles to you. If every player collected in their own neighborhoods there would not be any routes available. 

Please make sure to follow the guidelines to make it fair for every team in the association.
