WAVE FUNDRAISING | SPONSORSHIP OVERVIEW
Who Are We?
We are a nonprofit, year-round youth aquatic club led by our coaching staff and governed by a member board that manages non-coaching activities and many of the day-to-day operations involved with running a swim team.
We are fortunate to be a midsized team with a high-caliber coaching staff and excellent coach-to-swimmer ratio that trains in primarily one location. We have an amazing group of dedicated athletes and their families!
We know you are pulled in many different directions to raise money for activities and causes; our fundraising efforts are to help subsidize operating costs and team events, and we rely on all families to be involved with our strategic fundraising and sponsorship initiatives. Even small contributions help our club grow and thrive. Everything counts!
Why Do We Need to Fundraise/Solicit Sponsorships?
- Fundraising and sponsorships are an essential part of the Wave annual budget.
- Ideally fundraising and sponsorships account for approximately 10% of our overall revenue.
- Fundraising and sponsorships allow the club to cover essential expenses that keep member dues competitive while offsetting club opportunities such as (but not limited to):
- Travel budget for coaches (hotels, mileage, food, airfare, car rentals, etc.)
- Training equipment (exercise bands, medicine balls, stopwatches, etc.)
- Pool rental when needed (outside of Waunakee HS)
- Club insurance (liability insurance above and beyond what is offered by USA Swimming)
- Subsidizing supplemental activities such as team building events
We appreciate that you've chosen Wave as your athlete's swim team! We strive to create positive, life-long skills and help our swimmers achieve their goals and provide enriching activities while on their journey with us.
Thank you for your support and GO WAVE!
