Fundraising AssessmentOn Website under “Involvement”
The Dayton Raider Swim Club depends on fundraising dollars to meet its annual operating budget since training fees and registration fees do not fully fund expenses. Each family is assessed $75 per month fundraising fee (Blue Fitness is $38/mo). The fundraising fee is assessed per family, not per athlete. Proceeds from “Team Fundraisers” are not credited towards individual accounts. (Ex: Swim-A-Thon)
