Fundraising

  

The Palatine Swim Team offers a variety of ways for families to earn back 100% of their pre-paid fundraising fees each season. There are also opportunities to fundraise for the Team in general. In both cases, fundraising is essential in helping to maintain the cost to athletes participating on the Palatine Swim Team. Earn backs for family/individual fundraising will be applied toward the next season’s fundraising commitment. Excess “earned” monies can be rolled over for one season. Use of earned monies cannot exceed the fees paid the previous season. Detailed information and order forms for various fundraising opportunities will be available soon on the fundraising page of the Palatine Swim Team at: www.ppdswim.org 
Any ideas? I am always looking for new ideas for fundraising and would love to hear your ideas!
 

 

Laser Quest Gift Certificates are available at the cost of $7 (an $8 value). Each certificate entitles the bearer to one Laser Quest Mission game. Each gift certificate purchased earns back $1 to the family’s fundraising account. Kids and adults alike enjoy the Laser Quest experience, especially on bad weather days. They also make great gifts. If you would like to purchase certificates, please give me a “heads-up” to be sure that I have the quantity you wish to purchase available.
 
Fannie May Candy Bars
Everybody likes Chocolate Bars!! Obviously, these are easy to sell……….basically, a “buck a bar”. Candy Bar sales return 45% of each dollar of sales to the family.
