Fundraising

RDSSC relies heavily on fundraising in order to keep its programs as affordable as possible for all members. With a small membership and significant costs, such as pool time and paid coaches, it is imperative that all families fully support the club in all its fundraising efforts.

We understand that families have different abilities to meet these obligations and the understanding is that over the course of the year, they will meet their overall obligation to club fundraising.

For fundraisers that involve labour (and/or time etc), the Fundraising Co-ordinator will provide families with the number of shifts required per swimmer, based on tier level, in order to fulfill club commitments. Families are expected to do their best to meet or exceed the required commitment.
For fundraisers that involve selling, it is expected that everyone will participate. If it is determined by the Fundraising Coordinator that it will not negatively affect the overall success of the fundraising campaign, the option MAY be given to the club member to “buy out” of a specific fundraiser at a cost to be determined by the Fundraising Co-ordinator.
