Top Fundraising Teams
Additional fundraising is now possible by way of a pledge sheet. Once your team is registered, download and print a copy and ask your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to make a pledge towards you and your team for the Heart & Stroke Foundation or HOPE worldwide Canada. You can also have them donate on the website towards your registered team at our donate page, so to make it super easy for them just email a link and tell them your team’s name. All donations of $20 or over receive a charitable receipt from the Heart & Stroke Foundation or HOPE worldwide Canada following the event, so it’s a Win-Win!
Did You Know: In 2016, Ironman Outdoor Curling introduced the Ironman Silver Corn Broom award to the top fundraising teams for their outstanding efforts. The top 3 teams (and any additional team that raises over $1,000) by the start time of our closing ceremonies will also be awarded an Ironman Silver Corn Broom. This is an old style corn curling broom which can be mounted on a wall as a keepsake, but is also fully functional for curling at our event.
Did you also know: In 2023, Ironman Outdoor Curling also introduced the Top Fundraisers Trophy so the one team raising the most each year (by the start time of our closing ceremonies) will also be added to the trophy!
The following curling teams have been awarded an Ironman Silver Corn Broom for being in the top 3 for fundraising, and we have also included all teams who raised over $1000 for each year listed! Congratulations and thank you to all the curling teams for fundraising for the Heart & Stroke Foundation (or from 2020-2023 HOPE worldwide Canada – Winnipeg chapter).
