SGMHA BENEVOLENT FUND
The purpose of the Benevolent Fund (Hardship Fund) is to provide financial assistance to families that may be subject to low income or financial hardship. The Fund will offer partial registration subsidies to families that qualify so that players may continue to participate in SGMHA programs.
SGMHA acknowledges that they are not able to help all families but will work on a best-efforts basis to help those most in need. We appreciate your patience and consideration as we work to make hockey available to as many children as possible within Spruce Grove
