Our team would like a 50/50 URL as part of the team fundraising contribution. Is this possible?

How much of the money raised goes to the player?
- 50% goes to the prize, 40% goes to the player, 10% goes to administration fees (cost to print the tickets, lottery license fee, online fees, etc).
How much money does BDMHA get?
- $0! The association doesn’t profit from the campaign at all.
What happens when a player has reached their fundraising amount for registration?
- They can continue to sell tickets towards their registration for next season or they can apply the money towards conditioning camps, try-out fees, spring hockey, etc.
How do I know how much my player has raised?
- You can visit the Rafflebox website and click on the TOP FUNDRAISERS tab. There you can search for your player’s name.
How do I collect the money I raised?
- All money raised will go directly towards next year's registration. When you register for the 2024-25 year, the credit will be in your account and it will be automatically deducted from your registration fee. Any surplus credits remaining will stay on your account and can be used for future program purchases.
What if a player takes a season off? What happens to the money?
- The money will be held in trust for one season. If a player returns, the money will go back to the player to pay for registration. If a player takes two consecutive seasons off, the money will be placed in the Player Assistance Fund account and the player will not get the money back.
Can the funds be transferred to another association if I move?
- Please contact Matt Oxford, m.oxford@bedfordblues.com if this happens. He will make a request to the Alcohol and Gaming office, and they would have to approve the transfer of funds to the association it is going to.
I don’t know a player to support, can I still buy 50/50 tickets?
- Yes. There is a link on the BDMHA website where you can purchase online tickets for the 'Entire Group'. All proceeds raised will go to the Player Assistance Fund.
I didn’t receive my URL. How can I access it?
