Fundraising
The Milford Jr Spartans is a non-profit association that relies on fundraising and corporate donations to continue to run the program to its fullest extent. With the monies collected, we continue to grow our program, replace outdated equipment, update uniforms, pay referee and EMT fees, secure practice spaces, and pay entry fees for competitions.
For each athlete that is registered in the program; parents/guardians are required to participate in 2 fundraising events. One of the events MUST be our cash calendar; the second (or more as needed) are the choice of the athlete’s family.
For families with multiple athletes in the Football and Cheer programs, a total of 4 fundraising events is the maximum requirement per family per season.
Below is an example of what a 2 athlete family needs to complete for Fundraising Events
# of Athletes in the program | Fundraising Events required | Fundraising Events total |
1 athlete | 2 fundraising events | 2 fundraising events |
2 athletes or more in any program | Cap 4 fundraising events | 4 Fundraising eventsl |
*The Fundraising Events are not the same as Volunteer Hours.*
A post-dated check in the amount of $225.00 made out to MJS for fundraising hours must be submitted for each athlete; to the Fundraising Director before your athlete(s) can take the field. If the required number of fundraising events has not been fulfilled by the end of the season, your post-dated check will be deposited. If the required number of fundraising events has been fulfilled your check will be shredded. Failure to provide a check for fundraising will result in your athlete not taking the field until received.
The Fundraising Director will send out communication regarding fundraising events.
All athletes' families are required to participate in Fundraising Events. If an athlete's immediate family is a Silver Sponsor ($500) or above for the MJSYFCA; then they are exempt from the fundraising requirements. Fundraising events are required and are separate from Volunteer Events. For more information please reach out to the Fundraising Director at [email protected]
