Aqualaps Week 2: $22,880 of our $75,000 goal

Way to fundraise GSC swimmers!

 

Let’s keep up the good work. In order to meet our fundraising goal we need to bring in just over $10,000 a week. If we meet our goal this year and go for $80,000 the coach’s challenge will be well worth the extra effort and all GSC swimmers will get to reap the reward. 

 

Collection times at AGB this week:

 

Tuesday and Thursday

3:00-4:45

 

Collection times at DPAC this week: 

 

Wednesday 

3:30-5:30

 

 

This week’s fundraising tips…..

 

  1. Swimmer’s profile. When setting up your swimmer’s profile make sure to link it to Facebook and also connect it to your email contacts so all your friends and family who don’t use social media have a chance to support your swimmer and our club.

 

  1. Door-to-door fundraising. Take friend, wear your GSC gear and your best smile. Practice what you will say to people about GSC, your swim goals and why the donation will help. Make sure to thank everyone who answers the door even if they don’t give a donation. 

 

Starting next week all weekly raffle winners will be announced. Remember when you turn in money it takes a while (sometimes a few weeks) before it shows up in the system. Keep track of all the funds you turn in so you can have an up to date account of all the donations your swimmer has collected.  

 

There will be prizes for the top collectors. Only $1000 of your corporate sponsors can be applied for this prize since we want to thank swimmers for all their hard work soliciting family and community members, going door to door and signing up for table shifts. The idea is to motivate swimmers to get as many donations from people as possible so we can blow our goal out of the water.  

 

Don't forget to sign up for a timer for SEW Champs! This meet is so much fun to host and watch. You won't want to miss it!
