Spruce Meadows 50/50 sales volunteer opportunity!
Spruce Meadows Leg
Up Foundation volunteer opportunity!
Attn: 4-H
Alberta clubs, members, leaders and families.
The Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation has been
created to support initiatives that bring positive change to the lives of
Canadians.
One way that the foundation is raising funds is
through the sale of 50/50 tickets at each of the Spruce Meadows Tournaments and
select special events.
We need a great deal of assistance to realize
this vision of supporting the many charities in need.
We would like to ask your organization to
assist us by providing volunteers to sell 50/50 tickets at Spruce Meadows
events. Ticket sellers need to be a minimum
of 18 years of age or 16 years if accompanied by an adult.
The upcoming Summer Series tournaments, http://www.sprucemeadows.com/tournaments/ will each have 50/50 raffles and will have a winner drawn each day of
the tournament.
We are particularly mindful of the needs of the
residents of Fort McMurray and will be devoting a large portion of the proceeds
from the 50/50 funds generated in the next 2 months to charities that will
support the people of Fort McMurray.
We realize that many organizations are in need
of raising funds, so an honorarium, to be determined at the end of the
Tournament Season, will be allocated to those that have assisted us throughout
the season.
If you or
your club are interested in volunteering as 50/50 ticket sellers for any of the
upcoming tournaments (June 16-19, June 30- July3, or September 7-11) please
contact Brett Waldroff of the Leg Up Foundation, at Brett.Waldroff@sprucemeadows.com, and A.J. Smith of the 4-H Foundation of Alberta, at smith@4hab.com, for more details and to sign up. Any members that
volunteer on behalf of a club will have their hours counted towards the
honorarium, which will be split between all participating Clubs, and the 4-H
Alberta Legacy Fund to be used for 4-H programming.
Thank you,
A.J. Smith

I.T.S. Travel & Cruise 4-H Booking Program
FREE Money for Your 4-H Club
Parents, grandparents, leaders, friends and neighbors, can all help raise funds for your local 4-H Club each time they book their travel arrangements through Select Holidays & I.T.S. Travel & Cruise. This includes air flights, vacations packages, cruise vacations, travel insurance, cars, hotels and more.....
Upon making a booking, all patrons can then specify which local 4-H Alberta club they wish to benefit as a result of using Select Holidays & I.T.S. for their travel arrangements.
The amount of services and travel purchased will then determine the financial support going back to the patron's 4-H Alberta club of choice, and the 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
I.T.S. has committed to following financial dollars, based on booking amounts, to be forwarded to local clubs and the 4~H Foundation of Alberta:
· Up to $1999 receives $25.00 per person
· $2000 - $4999 receive $50.00 per person
· $5000+ receive $100 per person
How to use the Booking Program
1. Anytime throughout the year, book a flight, car, hotel, etc. by contacting I.T.S. Travel & Cruise:
I.T.S. Travel & Cruise
Lynn Holinski
5056-50th St.
Innisfail, AB T4G 1S7
Phone: 1.877.227.4348
email: lynn@itstvl.com
2. Upon booking, state the 4-H Club you would like to receive the financial benefit from your booking. 75% of the financial support based on the booking amounts listed above will go directly to the club you specify; the remaining 25% will go to the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel Fund.
3. Quarterly, the 4-H Foundation will forward funds provided by I.T.S. Travel & Cruise via EFT to applicable 4-H clubs.
For Example: Joe Smith from Blufton, AB calls into I.T.S. Travel and books a trip for him and his wife totalling $2,100.00 each, or $4,200.00 total for them both.
I.T.S. Travel & Cruise asks Joe Smith if there is a local 4-H club he would like to direct his bookings support to. Joe Smith specifies that he would like the Rimbey 4-H Canine Club to benefit.
Because Joe's trip costs $2,000.00 a person, $100 is able to be provded back to 4-H Alberta. 75% of that will be directed to Joe's specified club (Rimbey 4-H Canine Club) and the remaining 25% will go to benefit the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel Fund. In other words, $75 will go to Rimbey 4-H Canine Club and $25 will be directed to the 4-H Alberta Member and Leader Travel fund.
