Published on November 26, 2007 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Moncton Wildcats News Release
The Moncton Wildcats will host the Shawinigan Cataractes on Thursday and the Lewiston MAINEiacs on Friday. Both games are scheduled to start at 7pm from the Moncton Coliseum. The Cats are currently on a seven game losing streak after a tough road trip where they lost to Shawinigan, Gatineau and Victoriaville. Moncton is 6-7-1-2 at home so far this season.
Wildcats Offer New Opportunity for Fun'Raisers
Groups Can Raise Money, Promote Their Organization, and Have FUN by Selling Tickets to Cats' Games
The Wildcats have created a new opportunity for organizations to raise money and promote their group by selling tickets to Wildcats' home games during the 2007-08 season. Under the new Fun'Raiser program, the Wildcats will assist an organization in planning and executing a campaign to sell tickets to a selected Cats' home game. The organization will then earn a portion of the price for each ticket sold with the specific dollar amount earned per ticket increasing based on a schedule of established benchmarks, which are set out below. The promotional rewards enjoyed by the organization at the selected Wildcats' game are progressively more expansive depending on the number of tickets sold. For example, an organization that sells 1500 tickets to a particular Cats' game will earn $7500 (i.e., $5.00 per ticket sold), and will have the opportunity to set up and operate a concourse table in the Coliseum, to customize a game day program insert, and to participate in the ceremonial opening puck drop.
More information on the Wildcats' new Fun'Raiser program can be obtained on the Wildcats' website, http://www.moncton-wildcats.com/en-ca/tickets/funraiser.php., or to speak to a Wildcats' representative please call 382-5555.
