Multiplex Fundraising Plan Unveiled

Share:

On November 16, the Friends of the Plex, a local group responsible for planning the previously announced year-round sports multiplex and new arena, held a volunteer information session to recruit people to help with the fundraising effort.

There were approximately 25 people in attendance. In total, the group would like to engage 100 volunteers.

At the meeting, which took place at John Henry’s, the Friends of the Plex outlined their fundraising plan. 8 subcommittees will be formed to cover all possible fundraising sources, and to allow volunteers to choose the area that best fits their interest and expertise.

The subcommittees are Residential (within Niverville), Corporations and Business in Niverville, Corporations and Businesses Surrounding Niverville, Agricultural Industry around Niverville, Foundations, Federal and Provincial Governments, Municipal Government, and Special Events.

“Each of those committees will have a co-chair, and then we want to surround that with 10 to 12 people in each group,” says Clarence Braun, a member of Friends of the Plex.

Braun says that each subcommittee will be tasked with coming up with their own fundraising goal. “Obviously we have some numbers that fit into each category in order for us to reach our total, but we’re empowering each group to sit down and brainstorm in their particular area. So they’re not being mandated from on top that this is the number you need to hit.”

Another volunteer recruitment meeting will be held on Saturday, January 9, at 10:00 a.m. at John Henry’s. If you’re interested in volunteering, the Friends of the Plex invite you to attend, as well as visit the links below.
