Tim Horton's sponsors Tyke teams in several towns in Ontario that I know of , the teams are called the Tim-bits.Not sure what all they pay for but you could ask at your local Tim Horton's for the manager, he should know who to contact for the information.  Good luck.

Hit some of your neighborhood strip malls, try some of the stores you frequent. Go in person, though, don't just call them. Ask for the manager and explain your project. Most will donate something. I wouldn't ask for any particular item, just let them donate what they want. You wouldn't believe all the free stuff they'll give you if they know it's going for a neighborood kids group. You should promise that they will get recognition at the auction for their donation, like a sign saying who donated each item.

Me and my kids all play hockey, or at least my kids that are old enough to walk play, so needless to say I'm no stranger to looking and purchasing hockey equipment.  A couple of my favourite places to look are Hockey Giant, Great Skate & Peranis.  They usually have some pretty good deals and excellent quality equipment.  Check them out:\n\nhttp://www.HockeyGiant.com\nhttp://www.GreatSkate.com\nhttp://www.Peranis.com\n\nAlso, if you're looking for slightly used skates and aren't really as worried about quality as you are price, I suggest looking on ebay.  Especially at the end of the seasons lots of people sell their old skates that they don't want or don't fit anymore.  \n\nI would recomend looking at a Bauer or CCM skate.  They're very nice looking and well made and I like the fits of both the CCM and the Bauer.  If you want to go more high-end, then you may want to look at a Mission skate.  I would never look at a Mission skate for ice hockey but they are a well-known and a major roller hockey skate maker.  Many of their skates are very expensive so I like to stay away from them.  Also, I wouldn't catch myself dead looking at a Nike skate, they're poorly made and too expensive for what they are.  You may look at the Eastons but I'm not much a fan of the company for hockey - roller or ice.  But go look at the Bauer and CCM skates, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.  Good luck finding the right ones!

Although I am not doing anything for Children In Need, I work for ICAP which holds a charity day every year. The trading floor consists of hundreds of brokers in fancy dress and with lots of celebrities walking about all day.\n\nAll brokerage fees made that day go to charity. Last year we raised £5.2million for several charities. \n\nhttp://www.icap.com/about_the_group/charity_day/\n\nWe are determined to beat that on the 7th December this year.

Try contacting some of the children's charities and ask them if they know of any drop-in centres for teenagers who might be looking for volunteers

Try local stores they are usually willing to sponsor teams so long as you allow them proper advertising space on your teams uniforms etc.

"St. Patricks" on Franklin Ive donated stuff even a van once too them\nor any "Goodwill" (usually in the back of a store if not their own)\nI think my wife donates to the one on "hillsdale" By our house\nAlso you could post it in the free section of craigslist, and be specific of who you want to get it, this is more personal so it may be more rewarding felling. \ngood luck!

Try the Salvation Army, Gospel Mission, your local Marine Corp will sponsor a Toys for Tots program.  Many churchs have giving trees and you don't need to be a member.  Our local newspaper does a Mr. Goodfellow fundraiser.  Try calling your newspaper or local TV stations.  Also call any shelters in your area or schools and someone should be able to point you in the right direction in your community.  Good Luck!  God Bless.

You have to solicit the corporate sponsors, but I think you would be surprised how many will actually donate.  Write a letter, make phone calls, try to set up face-to-face meetings.  \n\nAlso, individual store managers sometimes are given a small discretionary fund with which to make donations (supermarkets, etc.).  \n\nYou are doing noble work.  God bless and continued success!!
