Cadbury chocolate fundraising boxes are being handed out at training this week. You will receive one box per family to sell to aid in keeping our basketball fees at the current price. You will receive a letter in your chocolate box (click attached link below to view letter or see sampling from letter below) and money is to be returned to the Committee by the first week of training in Term 3.

Today you are receiving a box of Cadbury fundraising chocolates to help raise funds so we can continue to keep your season fees at an affordable price.

As of this current winter season, the SBA increased the cost of the team sheets and also registration fees. At the moment the basketball club is wearing the extra costs associated with getting the teams on the court each week.

Next winter season in 2017 the SBA will once again increase their fees and also Salesian college may increase hire costs of Lakeside stadium to the club this coming summer season.

The easiest thing would have been to increase your fees this season and then increase fees again in the 2017 winter season, but as a committee we believe in keeping basketball an affordable sport for all.

What I’m asking each and every one of you is too help not only the basketball club, but yourselves as well to sell the chocolates so we can try and keep your fees at $150 per season. The cost of the chocolates is $50per box or $1 per chocolate. Could you return all monies back to the club by the first week back at training in term 3 please. The family that sells the most boxes will be awarded with village movie tickets. Extra boxes will be available from Mandy if you want to sell more.

We the committee appreciate your support in helping out with this fundraising drive.

Kind Regards.
