2013 Annual Fundraiser

Posted on by Sensei Steve Erickson

 

BigRock Aikikai is a non-profit organization.  Everything done by members, including instructors, is done on a volunteer basis.  No members are paid for anything.  All revenue generated is used to support our programs.

We have two primary revenue sources - student training dues and volunteer casino fundraising with each covering approximately half of our operating costs.  Training dues revenue grows slowly with the increase in the number of students participating in programs.  Casino fundraising on the other hand is a diminishing resource, having decreased 40% over the last 5 years.

In light of ever-increasing expenses and decreasing revenue from our volunteer casinos we are once again partnering with Balzac Meats on our Annual Fundraiser.  Balzac Meats is supplying its top quality products to us at a discounted price so your cost includes a donation to BigRock Aikikai.

Orders are due no later than Saturday March 30th, 2013 (if you would like a PDF order form, please contact Sensei).

Delivery will be Monday April 22nd, 2013 at the Main Dojo.

Your support is greatly appreciated,
Steve
