What is the Fog Devils FUNraising Challenge? |
The Fog Devils FUNraising Challenge is simple. Two organizations are selected to compete to sell Fog Devils tickets to a pre-determined game night. The organizations are chosen based on geographic area, population, demographics, etc. They can be chosen by the Fog Devils, or by the organizations themselves. However, the organizations must be approved by the Fog Devils office before the Challenge can begin.
Each organization sells tickets to the pre-determined game for $15.00 per ticket. 'For every ticket sold, the Fog Devils will donate $4.30 ($5 less taxes and MOC printing charges) directly back to the organization. For example, if an organization sells 500 tickets, the Fog Devils will donate $2150 to your organization!
The organization that sells the most tickets wins the competition and will qualify to receive a portion or all of the proceeds from the 50/50 draw from that night (the amount of money announced at the game is not necessarily the amount that the organization will receive. Remember, more people in the building = more 50/50 money.
Last season, the 50/50 averaged approximately $2000 per game. To be eligible for 100% of the 50/50 proceeds, the organization must sell a minimum of 600 tickets. (Both schools that won last season sold over 600 tickets each) The formula on how the 50/50 will be distributed is outlined below.
0-199 tickets = 25% of proceeds
200-399 tickets = 50% of proceeds
400-599 tickets = 75% of proceeds
600 + = 100% of proceeds.
(This formula may vary for sports organizations)
Each organization will be provided envelopes and summary sheets to help track their ticket sales. Organizations will be asked to return the sell sheets, summary sheets and the money from the ticket sales in the provided envelopes at least one week prior to Game Night. The tickets will be delivered back to the school or organization within 48 hours. The tickets will be divided by sell sheet and group for easy distribution.

Suggested Timeline |
The more time an organization has to put together their game plan, the more successful the outcome will be. Organizations should start their fundraising efforts at least 5 weeks in advance.
Below is a suggested timeline to maximize the ability to sell tickets. Organizations can adjust to fit their schedule and compress the timeline to still achieve some great results.
We do want to ensure tickets are distributed at least one week prior to the game to ensure ticket sellers can deliver the tickets prior to Game Night:
Week 1-3 - Kick-off event, marketing, selling of tickets
Week 3 – Organization returns sell sheet to the Fog Devils office
Week 3 – Fog Devils deliver tickets to organization
Week 3-4 - Organization distributes tickets
Week 5 – Organization and Fog Devils finalize game day entertainment.
(1) Start ticket selling program 5 weeks prior to date of game.
(2) Each participating student/person/organization receives a seller tracking sheet(s), and a letter from the Fog Devils verifying their participation in the project.
(3) With each purchase, the seller records the buyers name and number of tickets purchased on the tracking sheet. All ticket money must be collected in advance.
(4) Ticket selling should be completed 2 week prior to date of game.
(5) The tracking sheets and money will be collected and delivered to the Fog Devils (All monies needed to be collected prior to receiving tickets.)
(6) The Fog Devils will process the tickets and deliver back to the organization. The tickets will be sorted by seller for easy distribution. Organization delivers the tickets to the buyers prior to game day.
(7) The Fog Devils donate $4.30 per ticket to the organization within one week after game day. The Fog Devils will also provide the organization with the prize certificates to all winners at that time. (Photo opportunity available). If the organization qualifies for the 50/50, the cheque will be provided within 1 month after the game.
