Playing Storm Athletics at Reduced Rates /even with
NO OUT OF POCKET COSTS!!
We’re committed to providing an opportunity for everyone who wants to play for the OKC Storm to be able to play!! To help offset the cost of playing athletics, (again this year) we’re offering Fundraising Opportunities to help our Storm Families!! In fact, in the past few years, some Storm Families have raised more than enough money to cover all of their Team Fees; YOU CAN TOO!! Here’s how it works….
Players sell Ads in the OKC Storm Athletic “Program” to whomever they choose, and 50% of the Ad Sales offsets the Player’s Fees. For example, assume a Player owes $300 in Fees and they sell $400 in Ads. Then $200 (50% of the Ad Sales) is applied to the Player’s Fees and the Player only has to pay the remaining $100 balance. This can work for more than one Player in a Family, as well. For instance, if a Family owes $800 in Fees and they sell $1,600 in Ads, then the Family receives $800 credit (50% of Ad sales) toward their Fees; and their entire Fees are paid through this Fundraising Opportunity!
Any Ad Sales by a Family in excess of their required Fees, can be used in the following ways:
1. To provide Scholarships to assist other Families / Players with their Fees; or
2. Donated to the Storm to help offset other costs; or
3. Player’s 50% share can be rebated back to Player / Family to help offset cost of travel to practices, games and Tournaments.
TRADES: In the past, some players have worked out “Trades” (non-Cash) with vendors accepting a vendor’s goods / services in exchange for an Ad in our Program. For example, say Rib Crib donates 40 meals to the Storm Teams (a $400 value) in exchange for a $400 Ad in the Program. Since no cash is received in this transaction, the percentage the Player receives is reduced to 25% (as opposed to 50%) of the value of the Transaction. In this example, the Player who obtains the $400 worth of meals receives credit of $100 (25%) toward their Fees. Once a Player’s Fees have been paid (or they have sold enough Ads to cover their Fees), the Player will NOT RECEIVE ANY CASH REBATES ON ADDITIONAL TRADES (as we need cash to pay the bills; we can’t use the vendors’ goods/services to pay the Gym rent or the Officials).
