Raise more for ringette, without extra effort

A pancake breakfast is a beloved Canadian community tradition that translates perfectly into a ringette ... fundraiser. Host it at your local arena, community centre, or place of worship on a weekend morning, and charge a modest admission fee. Invite the broader community to maximize attendance and revenue. It's relatively low cost to run and easy to organize with a small group of parent volunteers.

Your coaching staff and senior players have real expertise worth sharing. Open up a paid skills camp to younger players ... and beginners eager to learn the sport—especially girls who may never have tried ringette before. Keep groups small for a quality experience, charge a participation fee, and promote it through local schools, community centres, and social media.

Ringette is a demanding sport, and the girls and women who play it deserve a night to unwind. Host a spa and ... self-care fundraising night for players, parents, and supporters, featuring nail stations, face masks, mocktails, and snacks. Charge admission and add a raffle table to boost earnings. It's a uniquely fitting event for a sport played predominantly by girls and women, and a refreshing departure from the typical sports fundraiser. A local spa, beauty school, or wellness brand may even be willing to partner or donate services for the event.

Turn a regular season ringette game into a community fundraising event. Sell tickets to family, friends, and neighbours at a ... suggested donation above the regular admission price, run a 50/50 draw during the game, and set up a concession stand or merchandise table at the entrance. Game night fundraisers are a great way to raise funds while growing awareness and appreciation for ringette in your community.
