Fundraising


Christmas Gift Cards for your Athlete? Yes, please! Deadline to order is November 24, 2025!

Christmas is just around the corner, and a great option for friends, family, thank you gifts, etc. is GIFT CARDS!  You are able to fundraise through the purchase of gift cards, and NOVA has organized a group order to ensure delivery in time for the holidays through FUNDSCRIP.  To participate in this fundraiser, go to the Fundscrip site ( Login - FundScrip) to create a Supporter account by clicking on "Support a Group".  The NOVA group code is ZDK7B3.  Once you create your account, you will need to pay either by credit card or electronic fund transfer.  If paying by credit card, there is a fee charged by Fundscrip, which will reduce your total fundraising amount.  Setting up an electronic fund transfer takes 1-2 business days, so it is recommended that you set it up early.
 
There are a number of new gift cards available to order!.  Options include Garage, Simons, Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Saje, and Sephora!  There are also some of the usual ones like Safeway/IGA, Superstore, Marshalls/Winners/Home Sense, Walmart, Shell, ESSO, Boston Pizza, McDonald's, Milestones, Montana's, Earls, Moxies, Second Cup, Starbucks, Subway, Tim Hortons ... the list is pretty long.  There are also eCards available to purchase, so you would receive those directly to your email and raise the same amount!
 
To participate in the Group Order, when you place the order, select Hold for pick up - Julie Freigang.  Once the order is received, Julie will reach out to arrange pick up/delivery at Kinsmen, UA, or Terwillegar pool.  There is no limit to the number or value of cards ordered through the group purchase.
 
You can also order cards and have them mailed directly to a home address.  Direct mailing has a limit of four (4) cards to a maximum value of $500.  This is a great way for family/friends who do not live in the Edmonton area who want to support your athlete to do so by purchasing gift cards.
