Fundraising
The ACES depend a great deal on the revenues of their fundraising activities to keep the cost of program fees down for each family. ACES members participate in two types of fundraisers:
- All proceeds of Team Fundraisers go to the team.
- 75% of funds raised through Individual Family Fundraisers are applied to the individual team member's fees to help reduce the cost of being a member of the team. 25% of Individual Family Fundraisers go to the Club. (Total profits to the swimmer cannot exceed their total fees for the year.)
Swim-a-Thon
This is one of the most important fundraisers for the team and we need to raise as much money as possible. This year it is a mandatory $100 per family. Watch for top fundraiser prizes for this fundraiser!
Also new this year will be a parents' and Masters swim-a-thon. Help support your team and see if you can swim more than your children!
Bottle Drives
Thanks for everyone's help to make our first two bottle drives so successful. Together we raised over $1000.00 for our team. More bottle drives will be planned during the upcoming season.
ACES Pre-Teen Dances
Dances are held at the New Hamburg Community Centre on Jacob Street (old arena) from 7:00pm - 10:00pm for anyone in grades 5 to 8.
Mandatory volunteer help is required for our team fundraiser dances. Areas that need to be covered are: set-up, chaperoning, snack bar and clean up. Please refer to your "volunteer commitment" sheet for further information.
