VOLUNTEERING AND FUNDRAISING 

Volunteering and fundraising at Elites Gymnastics play a crucial role in ensuring our club runs smoothly and efficiently. Your support helps us raise essential funds for equipment, facility maintenance, and program enhancements, ensuring that our gymnasts have access to top-notch coaching and the best possible experience. By volunteering your time or participating in our fundraising efforts, you directly contribute to the success and growth of our gymnastics community.

Volunteer and fundraising bonds are additional to the program registration fee and are calculated on a session-by-session basis. If a child is registered for a fall session program, and then decides to continue for the winter session the fall fundraising bond will need to be finalized in December and a new bond amount will be applied in January for both volunteering and fundraising.
 
Families have a choice to pay the bond amount at the start of the session instead of volunteering and fundraising. Alternatively, families may volunteer and fundraise the bond value. Families will be notified two weeks prior to the end of their program about the status of their volunteering and fundraising efforts. If the bond values have not been met, it is the family’s responsibility to pay the remaining difference to the club. This difference must be paid by the program end date with cash, cheque (Elites Gymnastics) or e-transfer (elitestreasurer@gmail.com). If the difference is not paid by the last day of classes, the original bond cheque(s) will be cashed regardless of the volunteering and/or fundraising efforts. Bond cheques not being cashed due to values being met will be destroyed prior to the start of the next session of programming.
 
Bond cheques are to be written and submitted to the club on the first day of classes. If by the third day of classes, a cheque has not been submitted, the gymnast will not be able to participate in their program. Cheques will be dated based on the below information.

 

Post date for bond cheques

Elites Gymnastics Club thanks any families who volunteer and/or fundraise more than what is required. We appreciate the additional time and effort put forward by these individuals. Cheques will not be written to these families for any surplus volunteering and fundraising efforts.

The volunteer bond rate is $40 per hour for each hour of volunteering required. The number of hours required varies depending on the program level (see below breakdown). The full number of required hours is applied to the highest-priced program for siblings or gymnasts from the same household. For each additional child from the same household, the volunteer hours are reduced by half.

 

Bond Calculation: 

  • Parent & Tot: No volunteer bond is required

  • Sessional Mini/Novice/Might/Junior: 1 hour ($40)

  • Full Year Novice: 4 hours ($160)

  • Full Year Junior: 5 hours ($200)

  • Full Year Advanced: 6 hours ($240)

  • Full Year Competitive: 10 hours ($400)

The fundraising bond rate is 60% of the registration fee, rounded to the nearest $5 increment.

For siblings or gymnasts from the same household, the 60% bond rate is applied to the highest-priced program.

For each additional child from the same household, the fundraising bond rate is 30% of the registration fee, rounded to the nearest $5 increment.

The profit made off each fundraiser is the amount applied to the bond, not the overall sales amount. 

 

Bond Calculation: 

  • Parent & Tot: No fundraising bond is required

  • Sessional Mini/Novice/Might/Junior: $90

  • Full Year Novice: $290

  • Full Year Junior: $395

  • Full Year Advanced: $470
