Fall Fundraising Program

Fellow Parents:

The swim team is a self-supporting organization that relies on financial support from its membership to provide resources for the team. Your active support of team fundraising activities is needed to provide equipment; teams supplies, and pay for qualifying swimmers to attend Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, as well as coaches salaries. The fundraising committee recently met to generate ideas that will be fun to do, as well as benefit our swimmers. We hope you like our choices.

Our first major fundraiser will be a Candle sale beginning October 26th and conclude November 13th, distributed through pool deck mailboxes, with receipt of product the 1st week of December. This fundraiser did very well for us last year. This fundraiser sale requires direct selling of candles priced form $8.50 to $20. Lisa Wallech will be our Captain for this fundraiser.

Our second major fundraiser will be a lottery. This type of fundraiser has been our main source of income the past two years. The tickets will be distributed November 15th to pool deck mailboxes and will be due no later than December 30th. We moved the playing of the game to January this year to encourage more interest. Deb Ramsey will be our Captain for this event.

New this year is a Papa Johns Pizza fundraiser. We have partnered with the Waynesboro Papa John's to receive a 20% kickback on all orders received for the day of choice, usually the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Pizza can be delivered or picked up. Fliers will be made available on team website. You may hand them out to family and friends. All that is required is for the flier to be handed to the cashier or driver at time of purchase for the team to receive credit.

We have partnered with Swimming World to offer a magazine subscription via web. 5% Kickback + special rate offer for swim team of $3off. A drop ship of 100 magazines late October will be delivered to team mailboxes to kick off the event. Event will generate more interest and information about swimming than resources for team.

We will be renewing our Food Lion program. Shop at Food Lion, show them your key chain scanner and Food Lion donates $$ to the team. Team representatives will assist you in signing up for this program. There is no active selling for this fundraiser. Signup sheets for this program (MVP Card) are available now on the pool deck Bulletin Board.

We will be renewing our recycling computer printer cartridges program again this year. Each empty cartridge pays $2-4.00. Team families will bring their cartridges to the Y pool deck in a sandwich bag and drop in the box. This is a great way to help the environment and earn money for the swim team. There is no active selling for this fundraiser as well.

Your Support of the Swim team is Greatly Appreciated
