Fundraising

Fundraising is a necessary evil in an organization as large as ours. It requires a lot of money to run a team this size with insurance, equipment, coaches salaries and league fees comprising of a large portion of our expenditures. We have been blessed that our needs have not required constant fundraising activities.

Sponsorships

For many years, the team relied either upon the board of directors or a single board member to coordinate sponsors every season. Last year, we found ourselves in dire straits and did what we should have done years ago, we asked families to help us acquire sponsors! Everyone did a fabulous job so we have decided to revamp our sponsorship program to take advantage of our awesome swim family. Ricky Graham is our new sponsorship coordinator and you can contact him directly to receive sponsorship request letters and materials you can take to your employers, business partners, families and friends.

Swim-A-Long for Juvenile Diabetes

Two organizations benefit when we participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation's Swim-A-Long. Our team receives 49% of the proceeds with 51% benefitting research for the treatment and cure of Juvenile Diabetes. Participants can win some great prizes and all donations to the foundation via the swim team are tax deductible.

JDF Kick-off: A swim-a-long kick-off will be held during a regular practice session. A JDF representative will be there to explain the program and describe the prizes. The kick-off will be fun, don't miss it. Each swimmer will receive a pledge form to collect pledge amounts until the date of the swim-a-long.

Swim-A-Long: The actual swim-a-long will be sometime in June during a regular scheduled practice session. We will need volunteers to count laps as well as bring and serve refreshments. Some of our swimmers will swim the maximum of 100 laps!
