SFFSC 4th Annual Skate-A-Thon Fundraiser  
Sunday, October 15th, 2023 from 3:00 to 3:45 PM, Scheels IcePlex
We are very excited to host the SFFSC Skate-A-Thon again this year! This event puts the FUN in FUNdraiser and is intended to be an afternoon of fun, fellowship and fundraising. Skaters will raise funds by collecting sponsorships (or donations) in advance based on either a challenge goal or by family and friends making a donation in the amount of their choice.

Step #1: Setting Your Challenge Goal and note it on the attached Sponsorship Card.

Personalize your Skate-A-Thon experience by setting a challenge that is right for your skater. Because we have skaters of every level, we would like to encourage the skaters to choose their challenge(s) based on their skills and abilities or favorite moves or skating activity. Please work with your coach to set a challenge that is right for you. Please email your challenge to Riley Block by October 8th, 2023 Some example challenges are:
  • Number of laps skated in 15 minutes.
  • Number of jumps landed in 15 minutes.
  • Number of revolutions in one spin.
  • Number of spins completed in 15 minutes.
Step #2: Set your Fundraising Goal and note it on the attached Sponsorship Card. When setting your personal goal, keep these things in mind:
  • 25% of sponsorships (or donations) you secure (up to $20 per skater) will be used to cover ice time; the remaining will be applied to your fundraising requirement.(Ex: Skater secures $150 in sponsorships. $20 will be applied to cover ice time; $130 will be applied to the skater's fundraising requirement.)
  • All funds raised will go towards our club fundraiser goal of $12,000 for the 2023-24 skating season and will help the club to continue to provide quality programming so skaters can achieve their goals on the ice.
Step #3: Solicit sponsorships/donations from family and friends and note it on the attached Sponsorship Card. Share the goals! Let donors know the challenges your skater is looking to achieve for the event and that this is a club fundraiser that supports our club and goes towards your annual fundraising goal. Let them know their sponsorship/ donation is tax deductible (Get their email on your Sponsorship Card so we can send them a receipt if they need one). • Be sure to collect payment while gathering your sponsorships.
  • All checks collected should be payable to you. At the event you will submit one check to SFFSC for the total raised amount.
  • If they would like to make an online payment, go to our website: www.sffsc.com/parents/donate. Be sure to include them on the sponsorship card so we can properly apply it to your fundraiser requirement and track it as part of this event.
Step #4: Day of the Event. Turn in your Sponsorship Card and money and have fun!
  • Parent volunteers will help count laps, jumps, spins and revolutions or the skaters can track it themselves or for each other. This is encouraged but not required, results do not need to be recorded or reported. The goal of this event is to have fun and allow the skaters to enjoy their time with each other.
  • Funds from all sponsorships/donations must be turned in on or before October 8th, 2023. Please submit one check for all the sponsorships. Checks should be made payable to SFFSC.
  • Skaters are also encouraged to invite friends and family to cheer them on!
