Fundraising is crucial to the ongoing viability and success of the Club and plays a VERY important role in the membership of a not-for-profit organization. To offset rising facilities costs, we must fundraise throughout the season. 

Understanding Fundraising & Volunteering Credits

As a non-profit organization, we work hard to keep registration fees as reasonable as possible. To support this, CCSC charges a baseline fundraising fee upfront, giving your family full control over how you earn that money back:

• Fundraising Earn-Back (50% Return): STARSkate families can participate in club fundraisers throughout the season—such as our D&A meat, Nickel City Cheese, Trivia Night, and Wingo Bingo events. Most fundraising events return 50% of the profits back to you as a direct credit toward your next skating season! (Note: Skate Ontario Lotto Books return cash directly to you as you sell them).

• FlipGive (Passive Fundraising): You can also earn credits effortlessly through everyday shopping! By using the FlipGive app for groceries, gas, dining, and online shopping, a percentage of your purchases goes directly toward earning back your fundraising credits. Join our CCSC team on FlipGive 

• Delta Bingo Volunteering: Delta Bingo is one of our most generous community supporters. Families can earn a $20.00 credit per volunteer shift worked at Delta Bingo to help offset their fees.

• CanSkate Program Assistant (PA) Credits: STAR skaters who complete the CanSkate PA training course and assist on the ice during our CanSkate, Pre-CanSkate, and Parent & Tots programs can earn incremental credits awarded by our Head Coach! It’s a wonderful way for our skaters to build leadership skills while earning credits. Learn More.
