We ask all our members to visit the La Zana Facebook page and to ‘like’ it as you will be able to check out all the great Wahroonga FC events and offers they provide throughout the year. 12 Whilst the registration fees enable us to fulfill our obligations to the NSFA and provide the grounds we do need additional funds to manage the club and provide support to our players and teams. These extra funds need to come from sponsors and our own fundraising …. and we need your help now for 2015 and beyond. Sponsorship Fundraising There are a range of sponsorship options so if you run or own a business and are looking to not only support the club but also help your business grow there are a number of opportunities including: 1. Direct access to our +650 strong membership through email and our regular Newsletter. 2. Website and Facebook presence. 3. Signage at Karuah on Saturdays. Our successful raffle last year generated over $1,500 of extra funds and we are looking not only to replicate this but also to undertake further fundraising BUT we need your help. We need: 1. PRIZES to include in the raffle. For a local business this is an ideal opportunity to promote it as a committed community based company. 2. IDEAS! and ideally volunteers to become involved in planning new fundraising events.
