Dear Pirate Swim Club Parents,
It is time for our annual fundraiser the "Heart
Plunge". We will be raising money for new equipment, additional
coach training, and travel costs for our coaches. For anyone new to the
club here are the details:
The fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, February 24, 2012 @
5:30pm.
Each swimmer will be asked to sell $50.00 worth of tickets.
Tickets are $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. Each ticket is worth one chance
to win one of our great prizes.
These tickets will be enclosed in a packet that will be passed out
at the pool on Monday and Tuesday January 9th and 10th. Parents – if you can plan on coming into the
pool on one of these days to collect the packet – it would be helpful.
Each
numbered ticket has 2 pieces: one for the purchaser to keep – and another for
them to return to your child. This
ticked needs to have the purchaser’s name and phone number on the back (there
is a place of this). You child will then
return the ticket stubs (with names and phone numbers on them) along with the
collected money to the Swim Club by February 17th. These tickets (yes, the actual tickets)will
all be placed in a tumbler and will be drawn out for the prizes.
On the day of the Heart Plunge, we want all of our swimmers to be
able to participate and there will be competitions appropriate for every
ability level. Upon completion of each competition the winning swimmers will
pull tickets for the prizes.
We are actively looking for generous sponsors who would be willing
to donate items or services that can be used as prizes.
We currently have as grand prizes, a Kindle Fire, a flat screen
TV, and a Nintendo DSi XL.
Many other prizes will be raffled off as well.
If you have family, friends, or neighbors who would be willing to
donate please let any board member know.
The success of our fundraiser is directly linked to the prizes we
are able to offer. Thanks for your support!
