Fundraising & Bingos
The Derrick Skating Club has fundraising events in order to continue to offer an affordable skating environment to all of its members.
Members also have the option of participating in Bingo and Casino events to earn ice credits to off-set some of their ice fees.
Participation

Who can volunteer for Bingo or Casino events?
How are volunteer Bingo or Casino shifts filled?
All Bingo sign up happens through Volunteer Sign Up in our Uplifter registration system. The release dates for each monthly Bingo Sign up sign will be noted in the monthly newsletter. Spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
Casino Shift sign up happens similarly, but only every couple of years when Casinos are awarded.
Where are the Bingo or Casino events held?
All DSC Bingo events are held at the Parkway Bingo Hall (8775 51 Avenue NW).
*DSC Casino events are assigned by the AGLC approximately 5 months prior to the event.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding fundraising, please feel free to reach out to the Fundraising Coordinator at [email protected].
