FUNDRAISING

For the 2019-20 swim year, Poseidon requires family fund raising.  Poseidon will host a USA Swimming Swim-a-thon in the spring, which is our biggest fundraiser. In addition, we have other programs that can help our members reach their fundraising committments.  
 
 
Gift Card/Scrip Program
The Great Lakes Scrip Program has been a successful way for our families to raise money. Gifts cards are purchased at face value by the member, but the team purchases them at a discount.  This discount is passed along to member families, in a 50/50 split between member and team.

The team orders your scrip (plastic gift cards) the first of every month through December.   You will be notified when the cards arrive. You can order by registering on line at www.shopwithscrip.com.  Set up your account using the Poseidon Enrollment Code 12818A3D1L8L7.  You now have 2 ways to pay for gift cards.  You can write a check to the team for your order, or set up PrestoPay* for your account.
 
You order on line and pick up your gift cards here at the pool.  ScripNow and Reloadable scrip do not require pick up.  ScripNow is delivered by email and reloadables load directly to the card you already have.  Using Prestopay for this type of scrip allows orders to complete almost instantaneously.
If you ever have any questions, please call the office at 833-796-3278.

*PrestoPay™ is a convenient way for you to pay for orders directly, on-line, at the time you place their order.  You can still elect to pay Poseidon via check. You will be given the option to select the payment type each time you order, during the check-out process.

MyScripWallet

This new web based program allows you to order scrip on the fly.  You must already have PrestoPay set-up to use method of purchase.  You can use MyScripWallet for Scrip Now and Reloads.  Click here for more information.
