Group Fundraising Guidelines

We decided upon guidelines for group fundraising for this year. First of all, the organization will give a refund to the general membership if at the end of the lacrosse year, we have $5000 to carry forth for the next year’s budget, and $1500 to put into a scholarship/hardship fund for players who may need this. This is $6500 total to carry forward to next year. Once that general guideline has been met, the following criteria will apply.

Eligibility will be based on the following things, and will go as follows. The 1st two items listed are mandatory.

1. Paid in Full on the $700 assessment fee for players.
2. Presell six (6) PTBLA Bingo tickets for $10 each. ($60 total)
   

You may choose one of the following, in addition to the top two mandatory items.

1. Volunteer and help out on Bingo night.
2. Support and participate as a volunteer in PTBLA another committee or help in the concession stand

Refunds will be given out by the Treasurer on or after the banquet held in June of 2007.
