VOLUNTEERING AND FUNDRAISINGÂ
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.

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 is set at a rate of $40 per hour for each hour of volunteering required. Volunteer shifts will include fundraising, committee and competition support. The number of hours required varies depending on the program level.
​
​
The fundraising bond is 60% of the registration fee (to the closest$5) to help assist families by keeping lower registration fees. You may elect to have your bond cheques cashed in lieu of fulfilling fundraising requirement. Please see Uplifter for breakdown.
​
The profit made off each fundraiser is the amount applied to the bond, not the overall sales amount.
