GATOR TEAM SPECIAL EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS
Gator Kickoff and Share Night Events at Culver's - May 23
We host Share Nights at Culver's in Middleton, our kickoff to the start of the season in May as a way to thank Culver's for their support to our team during the season.
Culver's goes to great lengths to give back to the community and is excited to continue to partner with our Team. A portion of the proceeds from both events will benefit our swim & dive team.. So, spread the word on your social media, invite your friends and neighbors to support our Team too!
Volunteers will be needed to assist with guest and general clean-up of tables.
Tie Dye Season Kickoff, Team Bonding Event - June 11th
Gator swimmers, divers and families, join us for our Tie Dye Season Kickoff held at the Walter R. Bauman Aquatic Center. Along with celebrating the 2023 season with open swim and donuts for all, our swimmers and divers will be turning their plain white team t-shirts into artistic, colorful, fun creations by tie dying them!
PARENT SOCIAL & TRIVIA NIGHT - June 26
Join us for an evening of grown-up company (adults only, please!) with your fellow Gators parents and head coaches at the Grape Water Wine Bar. Enjoy pizza and light snacks and purchase any of the fabulous wines that the Wine Bar has to offer, while you play a fun, friendly game of Trivia created by our coaches.
Team Photo Day - June 27
During each age group practice, Empire Photography will be on deck to take individual and team age group photos of swimmers and divers. Please wear your team suit today!
Please have your swimmer/diver arrive 5 minutes before their age-group practice. Athletes should report to the photo area before going to their practices; once their individual photo is taken, they will be directed to go to their age group practice and when all individual photos are taken for that age group; team photos will be taken with their coaches. We will have volunteers helping direct the athletes.You will receive information from Empire Photography about one week after the photos are taken on how to purchase. A portion of the proceeds from all photo orders will benefit our Team. Purchasing photos is completely optional.
COMMUNITY FUNDRAISERS - SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK & THE GATORS REGISTRATION GRANT FUND
Calling all Gators to gear up and get ready to do some serious diving and swimming!
Along with our competition dual meets, our All-City Swim & Dive League Team Pools are a substantial donator to the Second Harvest Foodbank. The money our team raises/donates will be distributed by Second Harvest to WayForward Resources. The All-City Swim & Dive League along with Second Harvest will award the Swim/Dive Team Pool that raises the most meals.
We as a team feel strongly about giving back to the community; a large portion funds donated through this fundraiser will benefit The Second Harvest Food Bank/WayForward and the remaining funds will provide Gators registration grants to those athletes that otherwise would not financially be able to join.
So each year we run a fundraiser, which brings all of our athletes together for a swimming & diving event. Swimmers swim as many laps as possible and divers will participate in a dive expedition.
This friendly fun event, along with our athletes fundraising participation, helps raise money from friends and family that is critical to financially helping out Second Harvest/WayForward and the Gators Registration Grant Fund.
