Welcome to Our Fundraising Page!
Building Our Blue Crush Community Together!
Hello Blue Crush Families!
We're excited to share our fundraising plans with you! To keep our monthly dues affordable and ensure our club thrives, we need everyone's help with fundraising. Each year, all Blue Crush athletes are asked to contribute between $100 and $300, depending on their squad, or $500 per family.
Why Fundraising?
Fundraising is a fantastic way to:
Get everyone involved in our club community
Boost our community presence and spread goodwill
Keep monthly dues affordable for all families
Maintain the quality programs we all love
Support equipment, meets, and team activities
Participating in events like the Swim-A-Thon or Water Polo-A-Thon is required, and we encourage athletes to gather $100 or more in pledges. If the annual fundraising goal isn't met by June 30th, the remaining amount will be billed to your account.
