Once you have received approval for your Club, it’s important to remember that any Club can fall apart without the appropriate leadership, successful events or activities and lack of promotion.

Yuk Yuks Comedy Night

235 Bayly St. West
Ajax, ON
Phone: 416-967-6425
905-434-4985

The Yuk Yuks fundraising program is an effective and fairly easy program to participate in. It’s as easy as picking an available Thursday night with a minimum of six weeks notice. Discounted tickets will then be made available for you to resell, with the profit from each ticket going towards you and your Club.

Oshawa Generals Tickets

99 Athol Street East
Oshawa, ON
Phone: (905) 433-0900 ext. 2226

Similar to the Yuk Yuks fundraising program, you can purchase discount tickets for an available game, which you can then resell for as much as $15.50 per ticket. Because you are not required to pay for the tickets before you sell them, there is no need to front the money ahead of time. When you are finished selling tickets, you can go into the ticket office and give them the money for the tickets you’ve sold. Again, the profit from each ticket goes towards you and your club.
