We are grateful for the community's support for Elora Fergus Ringette
The Elora Fergus Ringette Association (EFRA) is a non-profit organization proudly serving youth, teens, and adults across Centre Wellington and surrounding communities. For more than 50 years, we’ve been growing the game of ringette, creating positive, inclusive opportunities for athletes to learn, compete, and thrive while building lasting connections among players, families, coaches, and our wider community.
EFRA is deeply grateful for the support of local businesses and community members. That support plays a critical role in keeping ringette accessible for families, especially as ice rental and operating costs continue to rise. Your involvement helps ensure kids stay active, healthy, and engaged in a sport they love.
As we move forward, EFRA is seeking sponsors and community partners to help support our programs, athletes, and teams. We offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities to fit a range of budgets and levels of involvement. If a formal sponsorship isn’t the right fit, we also greatly appreciate donations of any size, gifts or services in kind, and the generous contribution of time and expertise through volunteering. Every form of support makes a meaningful difference.
If any of these opportunities spark your interest, I would be happy to connect and share more details. Thank you for considering support of ringette and youth sport in our community!
Respectfully yours,
June Perry, President, Elora Fergus Ringette Association
