Whalers 50/50 Communication 2021/22

 

Welcome back everyone to another Whalers hockey season. Last year we ran a successful 50/50 and did extremely well. We are hoping to build on that success and have incorporated your feedback into our fundraising framework for the year. 50/50 credits from last season were applied to help reduce registration costs by over $27,000 for raffle participants. In one case paying the entire registration cost for a single player. We hope to add to that this year. There will be some changes to our ticket prices and we will be incorporating a second draw for a Pro Hockey Life gift card after each main draw.        

Like all good fundraisers it’s important to receive feedback and continuously adjust the recipe to build on our success year after year. This year the ticket prices will be in line with the feedback we received.

  • 3   for $5
  • 7   for  $10
  • 15 for $20
  • 50 for  $50

 The top ten fundraisers for each draw will be placed in a second draw following the main one for a $100 Pro Hockey Life gift card.

 We have also had to implement a threshold on how many tickets an individual sells in order to have it apply towards their registration. Due to the immense administrative cost of adding all the credits to the system a player will have to raise a total of $25 minimum worth of credit to have it applied. With the ticket sales breakdown giving 36.5% of the sales to the individual you would have to sell roughly $68 worth of tickets over the course of the 6 draws throughout the season. For those that do not reach the $25 minimum credit threshold your credit will be diverted to the Mary Beth Chaulk fund strengthening support for our Whalers Community.

Special note for U18 players. You will be receiving email notifications for the raffle such as information and your unique URL (Link) to sell 50/50 tickets. If you end up playing for a high school team and wish to opt out of fundraising emails please let us know.

 I wish you all good luck this year! Please feel free to email myself at fundraising@whalers.org for any questions related to the draw or for team fundraising inquiries. I am here to help and like always your feedback is appreciated.
