Why does the Tri Area Skating Club require Fundraising?

The Tri Area Skating Club (TASC) is a small, volunteer-based, Not-for-Profit organization that provides Skate Canada-sanctioned programs instructed by nationally trained NCCP Certified coaching staff.

The Executive committee is a team of elected parent volunteers whose focus is to keep the club financially sound & running successfully for years to come. Dedicated parent volunteers are vital and are the foundation to which the club flourishes.

The program fees charged only cover a portion of the overall operating costs (ice & coach fees). We are not a TLC or Town of Stony Plain run program therefore our ice costs are not subsidized by the local government. 

Some of the additional costs to running our programs include program equipment & supplies, office supplies, administrative costs, club membership & insurance, advertising, bank & merchant fees, registration & website program fees & maintenance, coach & PA training, etc.

We completely understand that the last few years have been extremely hard on all organizations & families financially speaking, and costs continue to increase year over year. Fundraising is one way we can ensure that we are able to continue operating your local skating program & subsidize your program fees. It is a very important component of keeping our club running smoothly, effectively & keeping the overall costs of program fees lowered for all members & helps to subsidize special events such as Ice Shows, Family Skate, Mini Competitions, etc.

In order to keep your program fees from increasing we have decided to give our members a variety of options to cover the additional operational costs it takes to run the programs. 

Thank you all for your dedication & continuing support to help maintain a quality program for our children!
