Fundraising is a vital part of the Ripon Sea Lion team.  Without fundraising, the cost of team registration would be significantly higher.  Fundraising also helps the team to purchase and/or update important equipment. The typical fundraising events are as follows:

Swim Fest

The Swim Fest is very popular with the kids.  We make it fun and rewarding for all our swimmers.  We aggressively seek prize donations from businesses for this fundraiser.  The kids earn tickets based on the number of laps they swam and the amount of money they earned.  The more tickets earned the better chance they have to win prizes.  Each swimmer is required to raise a minimum of $100. 

Merchandise Sales

Throughout the season, the team will offer team merchandise for sale. Proceeds will benefit fundraising efforts and give swimmers and their families a chance to show their team spirit with some pretty awesome swag!
