Here are some samples of the campaigns we are running;

• Player contribution platform. This is a ongoing campaign designed to simplify the donation process and is tied to each players page. For a complete list of the players and links to their personal page please go here.

• We are also looking at having a “Holdem” night. The venue and date are being reviewed and will be announced shortly.

• After the season gets under way we will be setting up a Shoot-A-Thon to also help us raise money for the season.

• Community business sponsorship programs. Business owners, this is a great way to show your support for more information click here.

Please keep in mind that the more money we raise will only help us drive more programs and help more players get involved in this GREAT SPORT!

The Players, Coaches, Managers and parents APPRECIATE your support!

Communication is KING! The more you communicate to your network of friends the better your campaign will be. Today, a majority of people have a facebook or a myspace type of social media. If you have one, please add the links attached for your Cast Member and also encourage all of your contacts within your network to do the same. Remember… your Network = the Net-worth of your campaign.

We know that the key to a successful event is getting the word out, so here are a few tips for spreading the word about your campaign:

1. Invite Your Social Network
Post a Twitter, facebook or other social network message about the campaign. The link to your players webpage is at the bottom of each page. Keep in mind that this part of your campaign is the most critical.

2. Ask Friends to Help You Promote
You can get other people to help you promote your campaign by asking them to also click on the “Share” icons on the bottom of each page.

Please do not get over-whelmed with all of this. Keep it simple and try to have fun with it. If you need any help or I can be of any assistance please contact me (information below). Good luck and we will see you online.

By the way, within the first 4 days your Players raised over $440.00…

There is something about hockey in the desert that keeps these kids going.  Meet the Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A Team… They are off to a great season and we look forward to watching them compete throughout the west.

This Squirt”B” Hockey Team in Phoenix Arizona had joined us for their 2010/2011 season fund-raising. This team will be running a campaigns with 4mySport that will help them off-set their travel and operational expense. To see their campaign or  join them, click any of the players below.

Meet the Team and follow them to their dedicated section on 4mySport.co

My name is Ashley and I live in Arizona. I have been playing competitive hockey for 3 years. My dad had me on skates when I was 4 and because my brother played hockey I got all of his stinky old equipment to start off with. Finally I figured out the best position for me to play was goalie (not because of hand me downs).

Now at 9 years old I have traveled to Colorado and California. I have played teams from all over the Southwest and Canada. My first year of competitive hockey (08/09) the travel team I was on won 4 tournaments and the state championship. Last year I went from a mite to a squirt division and also had a very fun season.

I really enjoy playing hockey, the life skills as well as discipline that this sport has taught me is amazing. It has also helped me with building confidence and a strong work ethic (that comes from my coach). Even with all of the practices and games I have kept an A average in school.

And this is Ryan. I guess this hockey thing is all my fault. I started when I was 5 and have been going strong since then. Starting at the mites and now playing for a bantam travel B team.

I too have traveled all over the West thanks to hockey. Last year alone I went to Boston (had a tour of Harvard) and Las Vegas.

With the help of 4mySport and my family we have developed this page to help me and Ashley cover the cost for this next season. The last couple of years I have had to sell cookie dough, candles, raffle tickets and lots of other stuff. That was not very much fun!

Here is how you can help;

Please use this “ChipIn” tool to contribute (any amount) to my season. Think of it as buying us lunch or a yogurt. I will also be using this page to keep all of you updated on my season. You can even leave me a message below.

Here are the facts:

a)      Team fee… $2,400.00 (each)

b)      Travel expense… $700.00 (estimated for each)

c)      Equipment expense… $500.00 (depending if they grow any this season)

d)     The experience, life skills, friendships and future growth…PRICELESS

Thanks for opening this page and Thank You for contributing. They will stay in touch through this website and will look forward to your comments!

Baseball is everything (unless fishing was a sport). I have been playing since I was 7 and that was 5 years ago. I typically play right field and average 8 runs per game. the only downfall about playing baseball in Arizona is it is HOT.

My name is Zach and 4 my sport I play baseball!

If you want to see what what family and friends have to say or if you know me click my name.

I play soccer in Phoenix and have been playing for 6 years. This sport is great and I have played in 3 states and have won 2 tournaments. My parent have been great by supporting me and getting me to all of those early morning games and practices.

My name is Olivia and 4 my sport I play Soccer!

If you want to see what what family and friends have to say or if you know me click my name.

I have been a gymnast for 5 years and now getting ready to go to high school. The competition is tough at the travel level but nothing compared to trying out for this next level. Floor and beam are the best and if it wasn’t for the landing the bars would be great too.

My name is Kim and 4 my sport, I love gymnastics!

I live for Hockey! No you don’t understand… here is the order of life, hockey, school, eating, tv (watching hockey), and sleeping. I am very competitive and enjoy any practice (yes even 5:00am). Ask my dad about the walls in the garage and he will tell you about hockey:).

Hey if you want you can even help me in my campaign to raise money for equipment and summer training.

My name is Ethan and 4 my sport I play HOCKEY!

Ok, some body told me that I have to take 10,000 slap shots this summer before my next tryouts. Let me tell you how my parent felt after they looked at the garage door. I am not sure but I think I need to add a couple of hundred dollars to my budget to fix the walls and door.

I don’t know about the rest of the team but I MISS PLAYING hockey. The season is over and there is no way I can stay off of the ice for much longer.

Summer is coming and school will be out soon so it will be time for camp and hopefully lots of ICE!
