Question

• “Am I required to participate in Fundraising”?

Answer: No. All fundraising activities are optional. We offer several fundraising activities to provide you the opportunity to select which ones are best for you to offset your training fees



FundraisingOn Website under “Involvement”

The Dayton Raider Swim Club depends on fundraising dollars to meet its annual operating budget since training fees and registration fees do not fully fund expenses. Each family is assessed $75 per month fundraising fee (Blue and Bronze Fitness is $38/mo). The fundraising fee is assessed per family, not per athlete. Proceeds from “Team Fundraisers” are not credited towards individual accounts. (Ex: Swim-A-Thon)

• Each Fundraising activity is one of the following categories:

– INDIVIDUAL Fundraisers: Credits are applied directly to each participating family’s account

– TEAM Fundraiser: all revenue raised goes towards team operations and coaches requests

• General membership can submit fundraising ideas to the Parents Board and/or the Fundraising Chair
