"Where does my money go?"
We have a lot of people ask us where the money they spend for their child to play sports with Candlelight goes. I thought I would take the time to explain and save time and frustration when you come to register at our park.
First off, we have a mandatory raffle ticket sell that cannot be placed on our fliers that go out to the schools. We are not trying to hide the raffle ticket sales. It’s just that some of the school districts we distribute to will not allow that on the fliers. They have in the past but have changed their rules for various reasons.
We charge a registration fee for each sport. This covers the items it takes to put on games and practices. This includes umpires/referees as required, lighting for night games, water/sewer fees, document forms (registration and fliers), equipment for each sport, and fuel for mowers/trimmers.
We then have a mandatory raffle ticket sale (or buy-out). These funds are used for major and minor improvements (fencing, backstops, pitching machines, bleacher repairs, mowers, trimmers, light bulbs, electricians, plumbers, etc.) or repairs for major equipment. This fund is also used for any short falls we have from items that go over our registration fee budget.
The next item is our team sponsorship fee. This fee is usually collected by your coach, but since a lot of you have stepped up to coach I wanted to give you a chance to hear about it prior to a coaches meeting. This fee is used to pay for the actual uniform that is given to each child at Candlelight.
So with that said, our intent at Candlelight is to keep playing sports as affordable to you as we can without running out of funding.
Candlelight believes that rather than charging one flat fee (that would appear too expensive) to play, we ask that you sell tickets and help find a sponsor.
Thank you for being a part of our organization.

¿A dónde va mi dinero?
Tenemos mucha gente que nos pregunta a dónde va el dinero que ellos pagan para que su niño juegue deportes con Candlelight. Pensé que yo tomaría el tiempo para explicar y ahorrar tiempo y la frustración cuando usted viene para registrarse en nuestro parque.
Primeramente, tenemos una venta obligatoria de boletos (rifa) que no puede ser colocado en nuestros anuncios que salen a las escuelas. No estamos intentando ocultar la venta del boletos de rifa. Es sólo que algunos distritos escolares a los que distribuimos no permiten esto en los anuncios. Ellos nos dejaban hacerlo, pero han cambiado sus reglas por varias razones y ahora no se nos permite.
Cobramos un honorario de registro para cada deporte. Esto cubre los artículos que se necesitan para los juegos y prácticas. Este incluye árbitros como es requerido, las luces para los juegos de noche, biles de agua/alcantarilla, papeleo (registro y anuncios), equipo para cada deporte, y gasolina para cortadora de grama.
El dinero recaudado de la venta de boletos (rifa) obligatoria (o compra) es utilizado para lo siguiente. Estos fondos se utilizan para las mejoras importantes y de menor importancia (las cercas, máquinas de lanzamiento, reparaciones de bancas, cortadora de grama, bombillas, electricistas, fontaneros, etc.) o reparaciones para el equipo principal. Este fondo también se utiliza para reponer algunas perdidas que sobrepasa nuestro presupuesto del honorario de registro.
El siguiente artículo es nuestro honorario de patrocinio de equipo. Estos honorarios son por lo general coleccionados por su entrenador, pero ya que muchos de ustedes se han convertido en entrenadores quise avisarles de esto antes de la reunión de entrenadores. Este honorario se utiliza para pagar el uniforme que se le da a cada niño en Candlelight.
Con esto dicho, nuestra intención en Candlelight es seguir jugando deportes con un precio económico para usted y no quedarnos sin fondos.
Candlelight cree que en vez de cobrar una cuota fija (que pudiera ser demasiado costosa) para jugar, le pedimos que usted venda boletos y ayude a encontrar un patrocinador.
Gracias por ser una parte de nuestra organización.
