Good evening Prince George Blizzard Families! This weekend's KickStart Camp was a great success, and I am sure all our skaters are looking forward to getting back on the ice for regular practices.

Fundraising Information The following note is from Fundraising Coordinator, Amber Browne: Hello new and returning members, As the new season is around the corning I wanted to send out information in regard to fundraising opportunities. As it stands now we have 2 standing accounts, Bottle returns and the Save-On-Food Gift Card program. These accounts conveniently will stay active year-round. This will allow members who know they will be returning the opportunity to fundraising over the summer months but it also will allow people (family/friends) to donate on your behalf. Please Note - Anyone purchasing Save-On-Food gift cards or donating bottle on your behalf must keep and pass the receipt on to you so that they can be given to the fundraising coordinator in order to be credited towards your fundraising levy. 1. Bottle Returns The Prince George Blizzards have an account at both the bottle depots listed below
The Prince George Blizzards have an account at all the Save-On-food locations in town.
*IMPORTANT* - it is your responsibility to keep and submit your receipts for Save-On-Food gift cards and bottle returns. Please label the top of the receipt with your skaters last name Please be sure to tuck them away in a safe place until you are able to hand them into the Fundraising coordinator. Please watch for more information regarding fundraising opportunities coming soon. If you have any questions about this information or fundraising in general you can email myself or Elaina Hudyma at pgblizzard.fundraising@gmail.com Kind Regards, Amber Browne *********************************************************************************************************** Registration will remain open for the next several weeks.
