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
Professional Swimming for Professional Athleteswww.daytonraiders.com
Professional Swimming for Professional Athleteswww.daytonraiders.com
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)
