Summer Fundraising 2012
This summer we will be offering Fundraising activities to help cover the cost of additional pool rental. Rather than raise fees, we are asking each family who participates in all 3 sessions to fundraise $50. For any family participating in 1 or 2 sessions, we are asking them to fundraise $25. We will be offering the same opportunities to fundraise as we did in the winter: Scrips, Swim-a-Thon, Ads, SwimLocker, and Yard Signs. As always, if you raise more than your commitment, that amount will be directly applied to your account, thereby reducing your team fees!! You can also elect to pay this amount now if you choose, but all Fundraising money is due by July 15.
Winter Fundraising 2011-12
The team participates in several fundraising activities throughout the year, including a Give-and-Get “Scrips” program, USA Swimming’s Swim-a-Thon, many advertising opportunities, the online Swimmers Locker, and more. Each family is asked to help raise $180 to cover operational costs of the team (or $ 130 for families in silver and bronze; $80 for Blue, Senior and Senior HS; there is no commitment for swimmers in competitive lessons).
You may elect to pay your fundraising commitment at the time of registration, or you can participate in the following activities throughout the year. All fundraising fees are due by Jan 31, and will be billed to your account on that date if have not yet met your commitment.

Last year, fundraising helped reduce Team Fees for everyone significantly. Additionally, because a portion of your funds raised beyond your commitment is applied to Training Fees, several families paid for their ENTIRE season through fundraising, while many more families reduced their Training Fees directly to some extent.
If you are interested in sponsoring the team in any other capacity (through your business, etc), please see our Sponsors Page.
Any money you raise beyond the your commitment in ads or swim-a-thon will go directly to your team fees. Any money raised beyond your commitment in Scrips will be split 50-50 with the team. If you are a smart shopper, you could pay for your whole season of swimming simply by doing the shopping you already do. There is no limit on how much you can earn!
(Note also that the funrdaising requirement is on a per-family basis, based on the group of your swimmer who practices in the highest group).
