Fundraising Requirement
Each family on CAST is required to participate in fundraising for CAST and to raise a minimum amount each year.
The major fundraisers are an annual bread sale (typically in the 1st quarter of the year) and the swim-o-rama fundraiser (typically in the 2nd quarter of the year). We will provide at least one other “special” fundraising event each year.
There is an ongoing monthly scrip fundraiser (orders typically due around the 15th of the month). and the difference between the cost of the scrip and the amount you pay for your scrip order will be credited towards your fundraising requirement for the year.
CAST will provide a list of the available fundraising events each year. For the current swim year (October 2009 through September 2010), those events include:
Swim-O-Rama – July, 2010 (swim date)
Dudley’s Bread Sale – March, 2010 (delivery date)
Solid Rock Team Building Event – Sept., 2010
Scrip Sales – Nov and Dec 2009 and Feb to Sep 2010
Look for each event page. They will include information about how much of the funds you raise will be applied towards your fundraising requirements. In general, for the Swim-O-Rama, each dollar you raise counts. For Dudley’s Bread sale, $1.15 of each loaf you sell counts. For the Solid Rock Event, $10 from each ticket counts. For Scrip Sales, the difference between the purchase amount and the cost to the team counts.
For families with a single swimmer on CAST, the minimum annual fundraising requirement is $200 and for families with multiple swimmers, the minimum is $350. You may choose which of the events you want to raise money at.
If you/your swimmer does not raise the minimum amount, you will be billed for the difference and if left unpaid, your swimmer may be removed from the water and not allowed back in until it is paid.
