Canadian athletes do this as well. They work bingos, at casinos, do bottle drives, etc.
I remember when I turned 16, and could work bingos, i was working 1 or 2 a month at least. And that wasn't all the bingos i could have worked. All of this was to raise money for my swim club, so we could fund our travel and what not.
