FUNDRAISING, SOLICITATION & DONATIONS (Adopted October 27, 2023) SAHA receives financial support and contributions from many businesses in the Duluth/Superior area; this benefits all SAHA teams and members. These sponsorships and donations help support registration costs, capital improvements, tournament fees and allows us to not chare ice rental fees to individual teams. All fundraisers done by members of the association is to be for the benefit of the entire association, not just individual teams. Therefore, if one team approaches such a supporter, this could jeopardize additional or traditional gifts to the detriment of the organization as a whole even though it may benefit one team. It is the policy of the Board that no fundraising or solicitation for team sponsorship by any team for any purpose will be permitted unless prior approval is received from the Board of Directors. Exceptions:
1. Home Tournament 50/50 raffle
2. Home tournament gift bag raffles with value less than $200.
- a. All raffles associated with a team’s home tournament may only be conducted from the Monday prior to the tournament through Sunday of the tournament weekend.
Fundraising and team sponsorship solicitation without prior Board approval or violating the above exceptions will be subject to the following sanctions:
1. Forfeiture of all league games; and/or
2. Loss of the privilege to play in any state tournaments; or
3. Any other sanctions which the Board may deem appropriate under the circumstances.
*To obtain board approval please reach out to the fundraising committee chair with a formal request
