FUNDRAISING
Seasonal fundraising by each family is necessary, as the Palatine Swim team is 100% funded by the fees collected at the beginning of each season, at registration. The money each swimmer raises helps meet budgetary expenses, such as coaches’ salaries and professional development, pool and facility rental, local, regional and national meet expenses for the coaching staff, awards, equipment, team builders for the swimmers, and other expenses. There could be at least one mandatory fundraiser each season. An annual raffle is an example of a mandatory fundraiser. Families will be required to raise at least $50 to $100 per fundraiser to sustain the needs of the team. Other optional fundraising activities held include parents' night out, dine & shares, and Waist Up team apparel sales. In addition, the Palatine Swim Team hosts two to four swim meets yearly (including the Summer & Winter Splash meets) for which families are required to volunteer.
