Fundraising

Sport is known to provide psychological benefits such as bringing positivity and calmness into people’s lives, building self-esteem, confidence, and goal setting.

At teamHOTHAM, our objective is Creating tomorrow’s champions today. We aim to achieve this objective by providing an exceptional racing and training program in a fun, challenging and confidence-boosting atmosphere, that will help each athlete mature and reach their full potential as a ski racer, as well as achieve personal growth as an individual.
To ensure we that the club has the much-needed funds available to grow and help us achieve our objective of Creating tomorrow’s champions today, the teamHOTHAM committee has identified four priority fundraising programs;

• teamHOTHAM Development Fund
• MHRS Dedicated Training Lane And Strategic Equipment Fund 
• MHRS Capital Equipment Fund 
• teamHOTHAM Elite Athlete Trust Fund

teamHOTHAM has partnered with the Australian Sports Foundation to facilitate the process of collecting the donations. Donations can be made via credit card or EFT and the great news is that all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible!

For more information follow one of the links on this page or feel free to speak to one of our committee members.

Throughout the year we get together for a number of smaller social events; with a fundraising opportunity. During the ski season, we have the Ladies Lunch and Dads’ Dinner at Hotham. Please join us at these functions to keep in touch with other members.
