To All Team Managers:
This year, the we will again offer fundraising opportunities at several entertainment venues in the DFW
Metroplex.
What does this mean to your team?
Every parent has the opportunity to earn funds to help offset their personal soccer expenses (including dues, uniforms, player tournament travel, camps, ODP, equipment, etc.) by working events hosted by such venues as
Nokia, Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers home games (Sherri Gallant is the club's event coordinator). Profits earned per event are deposited into the Club's fundraising account and payments via bank transfer or check are issued to teams every 4-6 weeks. With each payment, the team manager/treasurer will receive individual parent account summaries showing date worked, venue, and amount earned. The team manager/treasurer then communicates with the parents about the status of their fundraising earnings.
In order for a parent to receive reimbursement for soccer related expenses, two things must occur: (1) the parent must be
current on their monthly dues, and (2) proof of the expense (receipt) must be submitted and attached to a check request (attached). Funds can accumulate and rollover to the next year or, more importantly, should you leave the club for any reason, your funds will be transferred to your new club/team (assuming you have met your financial obligation with Sting).
This Program parents have earned over $100,000 in the last 12 months!!
Please share this information with your team's parents
and ask those interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to complete a sign-up sheet (attached) and submit it to Sherri. Please make sure that they include the team name and if one or both parents want to work.
Every person who participates in the fundraising program is required to be TABC certified before he/she can begin working.
Training is available on line at
http://www.learn2serve.com
or
www.campus2go.com
. Upon completion of the course, a temporary certificate of completion will appear on your computer screen -- this temporary certificate must be delivered via fax, email, or snail mail to one of us.
If you have any other questions not covered here, please feel free to contact us.

General Information
1.
I want to participate in the fundraising program. How do I get started
?
You must become TABC certified -- go to either
www.campus2go.com
www.learntoserve.com or
www.tabclicense.com/onlineclass
. Once you complete the course online
and have received your license from the State (arrives via US Mail in about 2 weeks after course completion), you are eligible to start working.
2.
Are there any other training requirements?
At this time, only NOKIA requires an additional certification -- workers must complete the 1 hour food
handlers class offered by the City of
3.
How do I sign up for events?
The program uses a website --
www.stingfoundationfundraising.com -- for all event planning. You will need to fill out all of your Account Information with your personal as well as Team information, this is how we pay you so this information is very important. To do this you will need to click on the FORMS tab and click on Program Sign ups. This site is for checking upcoming events, to notify your availability for events, and to confirm the events you are scheduled to work. To sign up for all events, simply click on the FORMS tab and choose which venue (Rangers, Cowboys, Nokia etc..) you are interested in working at and start signing up!!
4.
How much can I expect to make
?
There is no minimum guarantee of how much you make per an event. Earnings are based on a percentage of the net profits per event. The more events we work as a group, the bigger the profit percentage. In addition, if you volunteer to be a stand leader, you receive an automatic $15 incentive per event that you are the leader.
5.
How does my money get credited to my account? How am I able to use the funds earned
?
Each venue sends the money to the club's fundraising program administrator. Sherri then calculates the payouts per event and enters the pertinent information in the earnings database. Payments (via online banking) are issued to team managers/treasurers every 4-6 weeks, along with a report of who worked from each team and how much they earned per event. This is not a team fundraiser -- it is an opportunity for families to earn money to offset their own soccer related expenses (dues, uniforms, tournament travel, etc.). When seeking reimbursement, you must provide appropriate receipts to the team manager/treasurer for any expenses other than your dues.
NOTE: Effective July 1, 2006, all expense reimbursements must be processed at the team level (you will submit your receipts to your team contact for reimbursement) -- Sherri will not process individuals' expense receipts for reimbursement.
6.
What do I wear
?
Each venue has different uniform requirements. More information will be provided to program workers in advance of events worked.
7.
Can my child work for the soccer fees
?
Cowboys
allow children 15 and over to work. Only a few youths are allowed to work each event, and at least one of the child’s parents must work the same event.
I understand this program is offered to give me the opportunity to earn funds to help offset
expenses associated with competitive soccer. I understand that I am working as part of a
team and will do my best to work all events I have scheduled. I understand that I will need
to find my own replacement if I am unable to work my schedule event. If I cannot find my
own replacement I must
call
24 hours in advance and my account will be assessed a
$20 'no-show'. (If you "no call, no show" you will be taken off the call list and will not be
allowed to participate in future events, as well as if your 'no call, no show' results in loss of
profit dollars to the group, your account will be charged the difference. *______
*Please initial that you have read and understand the procedures and agree to abide by the terms of this agreement.
