2) Team  & Tournament Fundraising

 

All teams will be required to submit an application to fundraise to the Executive.  We want to make sure that teams are not doing fundraisers the same weekend, or over fundraising 

 

 All fundraising activities conducted by Lacombe Minor Hockey teams or divisions (including CAS) must be communicated to the President at the initial planning phase to ensure all activites are coordinated and fall in line with our objectives.
 
In Alberta, only eligible charitable or religious organizations that have been issued a licence are allowed to conduct raffle events. Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission determines eligibility for a raffle.  Information can be found on their website www.aglc.ca.
 
 
Fundraisers that require a gaming license from AGLC include all three of the following elements:

1. Payment (for a ticket)
2. Chance (of winning or losing)
3. Prize (A prize won at the end)

Fundraisers that do not include all three elements do not require a gaming license.
 
Examples of Fundraisers
 
Raffle for Prizes
Many teams put on Raffles for baskets and gift cards.  A Raffle where tickets are sold, there is a chance of winning or losing and there is a Prize at the end requires a Gaming License.
 
50/50
50/50’s require a gaming license when all three elements are present. Tickets are sold, there is chance and there is a prize paid at the end.
