Following the conclusion of their season, players are generally not available for the month of December. Charity appearances are limited to one hour in length. Paid promotional appearances can vary in length, but most are scheduled for two hours. Unless a game jersey is requested, players often wear casual clothing, a golf shirt and slacks, to appearances. The majority of player appearances are community service, school or charity related, and as a result, are non-paid appearances.
Many civic organizations offer honouriams to players, which are appreciated.
Some appearances are paid engagements. Business or promotional appearance fees are not set by the Calgary Stampeders, but by the players and their agents. Rates depend upon the player requested. The Calgary Stampeder Football Club accept formal requests for the donation of a Stampeder item for use in charitable fundraising events. Due to the large number of requests the team receives on a daily basis, the Stampeders are only able to accept requests from charitable and nonprofit organizations.
