In a continuing effort to minimize player fees, the Board of Directors for West Hartford Youth Hockey Association (WHYHA) passed a motion to team up with Sports Travel Raffle, a divisionof US Marketing Limited, for a league wide raffle fundraiser. All players and parents will benefit from this fundraiser. Funds generated will be used to offset operating expenses such as increased ice costs, game officials, tournaments, etc.

With that in mind, each FAMILY with a player enrolled in any program for the 2009-2010 Season will be provided one book of 10 raffle tickets that are assessed as part of the season fees ($100). The book of raffle tickets is valued at $100.00 or $10.00 per ticket. The tickets can be sold individually if desired or kept for an opportunity to win the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize is for a voucher valued at $6,500.00 which is redeemable for a “Once in a Lifetime: trip for two to a premier sporting event or exotic travel destination. Some additional details:

Further information of what can be redeemed with this voucher is explained on the actual ticket stub and can also be viewed online at www.sportsraffle.net Please take a moment to look at this exciting program!

In the coming weeks more information will be posted on the website including when and how to obtain tickets. Everyone is encouraged to sell as many tickets as possible. As an added incentive the league will provide prizes to the family at each level who sells the most tickets! Additionally, 40% of each complete booklet sold beyond the first book will be applied to the individual player league fee for the current season (e.g. your family sells 2 books at $100 each, then you will receive a $40 credit on your hockey fees).
