FUNDRAISING                                                       Volunteer Form

Everyone who has a boy or girl skating for the high school, including Weston girls, or middle school is a member of the Wayland Hockey Association.   The WHA mission is to raise the funds necessary to maintain boys' and girls' high school, middle school, and developmental programs in Wayland and Weston.  Ultimately, by fundraising, the cost of playing hockey is kept affordable.  As you are aware, hockey in Wayland and Weston is very popular at every level. 
We also participate fully in our community though activities such as   supporting the Cam Neely House for cancer care, and the recent support for a local coach whose family is in need.
Maintaining a youth hockey program takes the efforts of many volunteers working together for the benefit all children that want to follow their passion for hockey.  Our fundraising requires only a few hours of your time, and that is what we want to emphasize.  By working together, with many volunteers we can raise the necessary funds and keep ice hockey strong  in Wayland without investing countless hours.
Here are some annually scheduled fundraising events:
Annual Raffle:
The Annual Raffle is held in the fall.  The boys and girls set up tables and posters at Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and the Wayland Deli, in Wayland and at the Omni Foods in Weston.  Here is how we can use your help:
·         We need volunteers for two to three hours at each station.
·         Assist the kids with organizing their tables.
·         Help keep track of the cash collected. 
The boys and girls sell the tickets with your help.  That’s all the time that is required for this event.
 Annual Golf Tournament:
The Annual Golf Tournament, with the Wayland Boosters, will be held in the fall.  The tournament is organized with the help of the Sandy Burr Country Club.  Since the golf tournament has been held for many years, much of the mailing and contact information is already assembled.  All mailings are taken care of in advance of the tournament.  Here is where we could use your help:
·         Volunteers are needed to contact local Wayland and Weston businesses for contributions of raffle items.
·         Sale of tee sign advertising to businesses and other organizations.
·         Most important to enlist golfers to play in the tournament. 
·         On the day of tournament we need help with registration and on the golf course for the various skill events like the hole-in-one.
All it takes is a few hours of your time to make phone calls and help make the golf tournament a success! 
Hockey Game Programs
This year we would like to combine the girls and boys hockey teams into one program book which would be handed out at games.  In order to offset the cost of printing, sponsors are needed for advertising in the program.   Do you know businesses that would like to sponsor our hockey programs?  If so, a few hours of your time can make our game program a success and provide low cost advertising for our sponsors.  Hundreds of these programs are read, not only by Wayland and Weston parents, but by others attending the games.  This is very effective sponsor advertising!  Many of us patronize local businesses and we appreciate their support.  

Alummi Outreach

Wayland and Weston alumni who once played or followed the great game of ice hockey are part of our community.  Can you help organize an alumni event?  Can you help us identify interested alumni?

Submit Articles/Pictures to Newspapers and for Internet Website

Writing an article or taking a picture for the Town Crier, Wayland eNews, and for this website keeps our boys and girls team’s efforts in front of the community. 
Community Service
We have adopted the Cam Neely house for our community service projects.  If you can bake for a bake sale or help collect household items to contribute to the Neely House it would go a long way to assist a very worthy cause.   Details on the Neely House can be found at www.camneelyfoundation.com/neelyhouse/index.php
As you have read, we are not asking for many hours of time, just a few hours to help make our fundraising and other goals successful.  We need your help!
Please review the attached form and contact any board member if you have any questions; please volunteer!
Thank you.
