Fund-raising is essential for small teams like ATAC and helps to keep dues down which ensures the team is accessible to all. Money obtained from fund raising efforts is put into a general fund to bridge the gap between the team's expenses and dues revenue as well as allow us to purchase extra items that will help the swimmers and coaches in their training programs. The following are some fundraisers sponsored by the team and other will be?announced through out the year.

SWIM-A-THON : Coming SPRING 2017
Every other year our team holds a Swim-A-Thon. This program is sponsored by USA Swimming. A percentage of the proceeds go to support the national organization and the local representation of USA Swimming, our North Texas Local Swim Committee. The remainder of the proceeds go to support our swim club directly. Swimmers earn money for our team by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers have a two-hour period to swim a maximum of 200 lengths. Participants are encouraged to get pledges from sponsors. Most of our swimmers complete the 200 lap maximum.

ATAC PLANT SALES: On NON-SWIM A THON years
Plant sales historically are easy fundraisers because it is not necessary to go door to door. Simply create your own brief email cover letter, attach the order form & flyer, and prepare to follow-up your sales effort with an email reminder, quick phone call or personal visit. All of the plants are provided by a local grower and they are gorgeous! We are selling flats of flowers, color bowls (pre-planted), and hanging baskets.
It requires no upfront costs to the team and we are able to generate healthy profit margins which will directly benefit our swimmers. We encourage all of you to contribute to the success of the ATAC Plant Sale by emailing your local family members, friends and close associates as potential customers. They probably will be buying spring plants anyway, so why not buy from you?
