How can the money be used?
Here are the different opportunities, and please keep in mind that the money can got to one, two or all of the following, dividing up the money as you see fit.
- Individual Team Sponsorship. Help a team offset the many costs associated with traveling teams that they incur throughout the season. Please note that a portion of this total amount goes to the association.
- Scholarship Sponsorship. Help families offset the many costs associated with a hockey program. ERYHA has a three person committee (Board Members: President or VP, Treasurer and Registrar) that coordinates the process to ensure confidentiality of our hockey families in need.
- Mite Jerseys. Have your company logo on a C or D Mite team jersey. Your logo would be the only logo on the jersey aside from ERYHA. There are roughly 7-10 players per team at these levels and they keep their jerseys forever. To do this option, it is a minimum $500 Bronze level commitment.
- S.K.A.T.E Banquet. Our annual SKATE banquet is an opportunity to recognize skaters that also do great in the classroom. Donated money is used to purchase gifts for the kids. We are able to use donated money to buy items like hockey equipment (shooting nets, games) and high dollar electronics (ear buds, speakers etc.). The kids get very excited for these gifts. Winners are picked on the night of the banquet. We are proud to say we average 250-275 skaters in attendance each season!
