WHY
This has become an annual event for our Hockey Program with the purpose of providing each hockey team the opportunity to raise much needed funds for THEIR teams financial output for the duration of the hockey season. It is a wonderful opportunity for your hockey parents to socialize and get to know each other. The success of this program is dependent on 100% participation and cooperation by all teams. This event has been approved by the McKnight Hockey Executive meaning your participation is expected.
HOW DO WE PARTICIPATE?
Each team is required to have two representatives on the Silent Auction Committee. This ensures parents on each team receive timely and correct information surrounding this event. The Gala & Silent Auction of November 11, 2006 was a resounding success and we are looking forward to making this year even better. Your input and ideas are needed, so come out and assist your team in this fundraising event.
Each team will have the opportunity to display a maximum of 20 items, dependent on the number of event tickets sold by your team. A minimum # of tickets sold will result in a maximum of 20 items your team can submit for the silent auction. In the past, teams who have had maximum participation have earned on average $1000 or more. These donated items are to be new items, not used. For donations, look toward your employers, restaurants, golf courses, radio/tv stations, etc. Parents are discouraged from buying items to be donated to the silent auction. Please do not approach TUXEDO SPORTS or PEPSI; these companies are major supporters of our hockey program and our silent auction.
