Why We Fundraise
At Kingston Minor Football League, everything we do starts with one goal: creating a safe, positive, and meaningful football experience for every athlete who puts on a KMFL jersey. As a community-based, not-for-profit organization, fundraising allows us to keep participation accessible for families while maintaining high standards for safety, coaching, and athlete development. In accordance with our policies and bylaws, all funds raised are reinvested directly back into league operations — supporting equipment, education, and programming that prioritizes long-term athlete development, inclusion, and enjoyment of the game. Your support helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and feel confident on and off the field.
Where Your Dollars Go
Every dollar raised has a direct and meaningful impact on our athletes and programs:
Equipment & Safety
Replacement and upgrading of helmets, shoulder pads, practice equipment, and safety gear to meet national standards and protect our athletes.
Coach Education & Training
Supporting required certifications, safe-contact training, and ongoing coach development so athletes learn from knowledgeable, accountable leaders.
Athlete Development
Age-appropriate programming focused on skill progression, confidence-building, and enjoyment of the game.
Program Operations
Field rentals, officials, and administrative costs that allow programs to operate responsibly and sustainably.
Accessibility & Affordability
Helping keep registration fees manageable for families while delivering high-quality, development-focused programming.
Current Fundraisers
Easter with Purpose: Community Supporting Community
This Easter, Kingston Minor Football League is proud to partner with Cocoa Bistro — a locally owned and operated artisan chocolate business right here in Kingston — for a truly special fundraiser that blends football, family, and community impact.
Exclusively curated for Kingston Minor Football League, Cocoa Bistro has created a life-size chocolate football made from over 550g of premium Belgian milk chocolate, measuring an impressive 1 foot long and 7 inches high.
Families can choose from:
Hollow Football – $55
Presented in a large Easter basket surrounded by mini Easter eggs and personalized with your child’s name written above the laces.
Filled Football – $70
Filled with chocolate-covered sponge toffee, pretzels, and jelly beans. Includes a wooden hammer for smashing and is beautifully presented in a large Easter basket. Personalized with your child’s name above the laces.
But this fundraiser goes beyond one special product.
20% of every shopping cart (before tax) — regardless of its contents — will go directly back to KMFL.
When placing your order at cocoabistro.ca, simply select Kingston Minor Football League at checkout to ensure your purchase supports our athletes.
Important Dates:
Orders accepted until March 23 2026
Delivery runs by the KMFL Board of Directors:

All orders will be prepared by Cocoa Bistro, picked up by KMFL, and delivered straight to your door before Easter Sunday.
Funds raised through this initiative directly support protective equipment, athlete safety initiatives, and development-focused programming. As a not-for-profit organization, partnerships like this allow us to maintain high safety standards while keeping football accessible to families in our community.
This is what community sport looks like — local business supporting youth development, and families supporting both.
Thank you for being part of it.
