 Discount Cards Fundraiser
Ultimate Swimming's big fundraiser will be starting soon. We will be selling Discount Cards which offer discounts at many local retailers, restaurants, etc from Downers Grove to Hillside. The cost of each card will be $10.00 . The cards are good for 1 year so everyone can easily save much more than their $10 investment in the cards, and they are very convenient since the discounts at each store are listed on the card.
Every family will be provided with 10 cards to sell. The cards will be distributed at practices on Oct 15-22nd. All money must be turned in by November 15. 
If you need more cards please let us know by e-mail or at the pool and we will make sure to get them to you.
The family who sells the most cards will receive a $25 gift certificate from Kiefer’s swim shop. Second place will receive an Ultimate Swimming sweatshirt.
