Fundraising
Why do we Fundraise?
The LAHA is a non-profit organization that fundraises each year to help cover numerous costs during the season. The LAHA pays over $100,000 to operate and maintain Lakes Ice Arena for 6 months which includes repairs needed to equipment throughout the season.
How Much do we need to Fundraise?
In order to cover the costs, a fundraising effort is expected of all member families.
Note that the requirement is based on having 1 player or multiple players registered with LAHA. The requirements are:
- 1 Player Families: $150
- 2+ Player Families: $300
Fundraising Deadline
All 2025–2026 fundraising requirements must be completed by Monday, February 9th 2026. Any player whose fundraising requirements have not been met by this date WILL NOT BE PERMITTED to participate on the ice for the remainder of the 2025–2026 season until the full balance is paid.
Based on the actual budget, a buyout option is available for families that can be paid as part of the player registration process. Families can buyout 25%, 50% or 100% of their fundraising goal at this time. If the buyout is not chosen, then fundraising efforts made by families are credited to their accounts after each fundraising session. Updated totals for each family are posted to each team throughout the season.
