DIVERSIFIED CHARITY FUND
Diversified Transportation and your Fort McMurray Oil Barons are proud to announce an innovative community partnership dedicated for the purpose of generating "funds" for charities and community service organizations right here in Fort McMurray.
How is the money generated?
Diversified Transportation has pledged to contribute funds to the "Diversified Transportation Oil Barons Community Charity Fund" based on the performance of the Oil Barons Hockey Team for the regular season and playoffs.
- Wins - For every game the Oil Barons win, Diversified Transportation contributes $200 to the Community Charitable Fund.
- Goals - For each goal scored by the Oil Barons, Diversified Transportation contributes $50 to the Community Charitable Fund.
- Tie/Overtime - For all games that end in a tie at the end of regulation time, Diversified Transportation contributes $50 to the Community Charitable Fund.
- Hat-Tricks - For every Hat-Trick scored in a season by an Oil Baron player, a $300 contribution will be made to the Community Charitable Fund by Diversified Transportation in the Players name.
- Shut-Outs - For all Shut-Outs recorded by an Oil Baron Goalie $300 will be contributed to the Community Charitable Fund by Diversified Transportation in the Players name.
How will Fort McMurray Charities and Organizations Benefit?
Diversified Transportation estimates that during the AJHL season, the Oil Barons Hockey Club will be the catalyst in generating over $22,000 for Fort McMurray Charities.
What are Charity Requirements and how does a Charity or Community Service Organization Apply for Funds?
The purpose of this initiative is to provide many groups with funds. We anticipate that groups will come from a variety of sectors and categories; children, seniors, disadvantaged, special needs and many others.
- Charities must be local, organized and in good standing.
- Charities will be requested to provide written request. There is no Application Form.
- Charities are required to provide an overview of their community work, details of the organization, years of service in Fort McMurray, a brief history or the organization, type of community work currently undertaken and description of services.
- Organizations are required to provide a list of their current Board of Directors.
- The submission request should be reasonable, the objective specific, and the submission must outline the benefits to the recipients.
- Funding requests should also be reasonable. Charities should realize and appreciate that our community is made up of many charitable groups and organizations that will also seek funds. In the spirit of community "sharing funds" is an important ingredient.
