Dive in and Donate Fundraiser Information
Hello everyone!
Hope the 26-27 school year is off to a great start for your family!
Our Dive in and Donate Fundraiser has officially kicked off! Here are the links and information so you can get started helping us meet our team goal (while also helping offset your team dues!). If you’ve already paid your swim team dues, then you can earn a refund by participating.
Last year, we exceeded our team goal of $5000! Several families realized that their employers offered a matching donation, and that was amazing!!! 100% of the proceeds go directly to your swimmers because our team manages the fundraiser rather than outsourcing it to a company.
We need your help again this year! And it’s as easy as your teenager sending a text message and you sharing it on social media or texting yourself!
Our boosters have created a great website landing page for our Dive in and Donate Fundraiser. All you have to do is share this site with your family and friends. We will send a sample text your swimmer can send to family in our GroupMe, or you’re welcome to create your own. I’ve copied the sample text here if you’d like to use it as well!
“Hey __! My swim team is raising money for our season. A portion of the fundraising goes towards my team's dues. Will you consider donating to support us? Click the graphic/link for more information. Thank you!”
It’s that easy! Don’t forget to share on your socials as well! A quick link or video of your swimmer explaining the program helps to put a face with the name and program!
Each week, we’ll compile a list of donations by swimmer and email those out to each parent individually to let you know your progress towards meeting your fundraising goal.
Our top fundraiser will receive a $100 gift card to Reddiset for all your swim gear needs! (You can buy the fancy goggles with that kinda money!) Second prize is a $75 gift card, and Third prize is $50.
I know fundraising is never fun, but we’d love to keep our dues down, and to do this, we need your help to ensure we can continue to provide an excellent program for your swimmers. The money raised here helps us to do that through quality coaching, clinics, lane fees, meals, entry fees, and so much more.
Our fundraiser officially kicked off and will go through Friday, September 25. The deadline for final dues payment is October 1 if you’re participating in the Dive in and Donate text-a-thon. If not participating, please have dues paid by September 4 or reach out to [email protected] to make payment arrangements.
Thanks for your help and for creating the BEST swim program in Hall County!
GO BEARS!
