Fundraising Opportunities
Let’s SKATE to RAI$E together!
Welcome to Skate to Raise, a unique fundraising opportunity presented by Sno-King Ice Arenas! This program is designed to help schools, sports teams, community groups, and other non-profit organizations raise money while bringing family and friends together for an unforgettable time on the ice.
The more people skate, the more your organization earns!
How Much Can You Raise?
Your organization’s earnings are based on the total net sales generated through your unique code — and the season you choose makes a difference!
We offer two earning tiers based on the time of year.
Here’s an example of what your organization could earn:
500 skaters x $19/session = $9,500 in net sales
Non-Prime Season = $4,750 raised
Prime Season = $2,375 raised
🟢 Non Prime Season
💰 Earn 50% of sales
NON-PRIME SEASON: April 1 – August 31
This is the best time to maximize your fundraising potential! With half of each qualifying sale going back to your organization, the non-prime season is the clear choice for groups looking to make the most impact.
*Skaters MUST register online in order to be included in the fundraising
🔵 Prime Season
💰 Earn 25% of sales
PRIME SEASON: September 1 – March 31
Even during our busier months, your organization still earns a generous percentage of your total sales.
Note: December is excluded due to peak holiday demand.
*Skaters MUST register online in order to be included in the fundraising
Contracts can be started at any time within a season, but must meet a minimum 30-day term. Contracts cannot carry over from one season into the next, as profit-sharing terms differ between seasons.
We operate with two defined seasons:
Prime Season: September 1 – March 31
Non-Prime Season: April 1 – August 31
For example, if you sign up on September 15, your contract can run through March 31st with the exception of the month of December, but it must end no later than March 31. Similarly, if you start on August 1, your contract can extend through August 31(meeting the 30-day minimum), but not into September. You can apply for a new contract under the Prime Season once your Non-Prime Season expires and vice versa.
