Hurricanes Fundraiser
We encourage all families to raise funds for their swimmer! Last year we raised over $18,000 to support swimmers from our fundraising account! Swimmers are encouraged to collect from their family and friends, they can total all funds raised to be billed to their account or collect cheques ‘Hollyburn Swim Team’.
Fundraising Goals
Pursuit/Typhoon - $200/swimmer
Monsoon - $150/swimmer
Swim Academy - $75/swimmer
Fundraising Prizes
For every $25.00 raised, each swimmer will have their name put into a draw for team prizes. We will have prizes for the top fundraiser in each group – Swim Academy 1, Swim Academy 2, Monsoon, Typhoon and Pursuit! We will also have team prizes for every swimmer who participates!
Hurricanes Fundraising Account
This will be our one fundraiser for the season. The money from our fundraising account goes towards supporting swimmer travel (national meets, travel meets), subsidizing team events (team socials and learning opportunities), racetek video at swim meets and team equipment. This year we will be aiming to subsidize team events like our parent/swimmer socials, guest speakers, Whistler team dinner and awards banquet that will benefit all of the swimmers on the team.
