Exactly what your donation pays for
We think anyone asked to give money deserves to see where it lands. Here is what it costs to put 17 players on the ice in Quebec City.
What the trip costs
Working figures
The line items below are working estimates while we finalize travel and lodging contracts. The $80,000 fundraising goal is firm. We will publish the confirmed breakdown here as soon as it is locked.
| Cost | Share of budget | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Fundraising goal | $80,000 |
Lodging is the single largest line because the tournament runs during Quebec’s Winter Carnival, when the city is at its busiest and rooms are at their most expensive.
No player left behind because of cost
Team Maryland families already carry the year-round cost of AAA hockey. The nine-day tournament in Quebec brings significant additional costs that our regular season registration fees do not cover — tournament registration, round-trip travel, ground transportation, lodging, meals and equipment.
Every dollar raised directly reduces the financial burden on our players’ families and helps ensure that no player is left behind because of cost.
What a Gift Covers
