Fundraiser options

Under Coach Joe’s direction, the Skyline Swim Team is doing a fundraiser to earn money for bleachers for seating on the pool deck, touchpads, training equipment, and other team needs. Our goal is to earn $10,000 as a team. Coach Joe expects each swimmer to fundraise $100 for the team.

Each family has two options. You can participate in the fundraiser by providing email addresses for your swimmer which will help them earn $100. Or, you can choose not to participate in the fundraiser and donate the $100 directly to the school to be deposited in the Swim Team account.

Fundraiser: Each swimmer enters 20 emails in their fundraising account. An email is sent describing the team fundraiser and asking for donations. Any money the swimmer fundraises over $100 will count towards their St. George trip fees. For example, if Swimmer A fundraises $200 thru our email campaign, her St. George trip fees will be reduced by $100. There are also incentives if a swimmer gets donations (t-shirt, shorts, running tights, sweatshirt, sweatpants, backpack, etc. all Nike apparel). If you have siblings on the team, they can set up an account together. They should enter 40 emails.

No fundraiser: If you choose not to participate in the fundraiser, you can donate money directly to the school.  Donation form.  Principal Bingham has asked that all monetary donations have a completed form along with the donation check. This will ensure you receive a letter for tax-deduction purposes. The program, school, department, class, or activity is SKYLINE SWIM TEAM. Take your check and completed form to the financial secretary in the office and she will deposit the funds directly into the team account. There are no incentives or credit towards the St. George trip if you choose this option.

Fundraiser status: As of 4pm Monday, our fundraiser has earned $5,670 in 2 days. The highest individual has raised $580. Great job so far!

There are several swimmers who were not at our fundraiser meeting. These swimmers need to set up their account and get started. There are other swimmers who have not entered 20 emails yet. Please get going.
