Current & Upcoming Fundraisers

<<RACE-O-RAMA - DONATE ONLINE - 99 Pledges>>

Complete until Next Year

The RACE-O-Rama Fundraiser is here! We depend on the RACE-O-Rama to complete the majority of our fundraising each year, so we are not continually asking families to raise money. Participation is important and REQUIRED for all team members, or a $50 Opt-out Fee will be applied per Swimmer if they do not participate at all. Please contact your coach or Krystal Simmons with any questions -  [email protected]. 
 

- The fundraiser is now live. All money turned in by April 21st.

- The swim event is planned for Saturday April 12thth, 2025: Gold/Silver 8:15-9:15am; Bronze/Copper 9:15-10:15am.

- Each Swimmer must bring a lap counter, i.e. parent/guardian, grandparent, sibling old enough for the task.

- Families may collect money with the physical envelope or their personalized link, which will be received via email. (Details below) 

- RACE will provide Prizes for swimmers to earn along the way; and at the event. (Details below) 

- Our GOAL for the fundraiser is $12,000. To celebrate our success, on Friday April 25th 3:40-5pm, we will host the raffle for prizes and a "Night Glow Swim Party", for our swimmers to celebrate with music and underwater lights. 

Taking Donations

- Track ALL donations on the paper envelope, regardless of payment method. This is needed to claim Prizes along the way. If you need additional forms to attach to the envelope, they are available HERE.

- For those accepting donations by LENGTH, that means swimming from one end of the pool to the other; not back. We saw a range of 75-135 lengths last year. Please take this into account when accepting donations. 

Payment Options

- Money can be turned in to the front desk from April 7th to April 21st. Obtain a Receipt.- 

- Preferred Method: Collect payments to yourself with any preferred payment method (cash/check/venmo/paypal etc). Write ONE CHECK to RAPRD from your personal account. If you don't have checks you can also submit ONE cash payment to RAPRD. This method is often preferred by families, as they do not have to wait for donations to be counted when turned in. It also saves the club credit card fees as an added bonus. Obtain a receipt from the front desk.    

- Optional Method: Collect Cash/Checks written to RAPRD in the envelope and turn it in at the event. Obtain a receipt from the front desk. 

- Online Method: Use your Personalized Link (received via email) to share on Social Media and/or accept Electronic Payments. This is processed via paypal. Donors do NOT have to have a paypal account. They are able to pay as a guest. You may also access the fundraiser with THIS LINK and search the swimmer by name. Every swimmer's goal is set to $12,000 because that is our group goal and we are all working together.
