Volunteering/Fundraising Requirements
The specific fundraising requirements for 2024-2025 are detailed as follows:
A. Hosted Swim Meet Volunteer Requirements
When a family has a swimmer competing in an Ozaukee Aquatics Hosted Meet, the family must provide one adult volunteer for a minimum of two sessions of this meet. Each family can “buy-out” of their physical commitment at a $75 per session rate. These funds would be used to purchase goods for concessions and hospitality. Should a family fail to report for their assigned volunteering role (without proper notification) will be assessed a $150 fee per session missed.
Any family that does NOT have a swimmer competing in the meet will not be obligated to volunteer, nor will be charged as such.
Ozaukee Aquatics reserves the right to ratify these requirements based on the level of volunteering necessary. Some meets, such as a State Meet, require a greater number of volunteers, and more participation from members of our community. Proper communication will be delivered weeks in advance of these ratifications.
B. Mandatory Fundraising - The Board of Directors has designated the following Fundraising projects as mandatory for 2024-2025. Currently scheduled projects include:
Swim-A-Long - This is our annual mandatory fundraiser held May, 2025 TBA. All members in Session 2A are required to participate. Each family is required to raise $150.00. Members/families not participating will be billed $150.00 to their account on 5/31/2025. A percentage of the money collected will be designated for charities.
C. Voluntary Fundraising - The Board of Directors has designated the following Fundraising projects as wholly voluntary for 2024-2025. Currently scheduled projects include:
1. Sales of Advertising to be placed in heat sheets at the OZ Fall Classic Meet and the OZ Regional Meet.
2. Spring Flower Certificates (Spring and Fall)
3. Concession Donations: value of commercially packaged items contributed for concession sales at swim meets (May be items you have solicited as donations from local businesses).
4. Additional Fundraising opportunities will be announced.
Funds received through these fundraisers will be used to offset the operating costs.
