Fundraising

Any non-profit organization must rely on its members to provide or generate revenue to cover its operating expenses. DCSC, like most swim clubs, has a membership fee structure that includes a 'fundraising' portion which simply facilitates payment of your commitment to the club. To minimize the real out of pocket cost, the Club organizes a number of activities to enable members to raise funds toward the fundraising commitment portion of the fees. Many members raise a significant portion of their commitment through fundraising. The Club requires a strong fundraising effort by its members. Any member can simply allow their fundraising cheques to be cashed on the due dates as per the fee schedule. However, operating a sports club requires the support of all its members, and the Crusaders' program cannot be maintained without a strong  fundraising effort. Try to do your part.

Should you fundraise?

Absolutely, if for no other reason than the fact that it is TAX-FREE MONEY. When you earn a $50.00 credit through fundraising, you receive the full benefit of that money. However, if you do not fundraise, the dollars you must pay to meet the full membership cost must be earned through employment, which as we all know, is taxed before you get it! If you fundraise in excess of your commitment, the Club will pay for meet related expenses such as meet entry fees and travel costs in proportion to the excess fundraising.

When everyone works together, fundraising can be a worthwhile and satisfying activity, both financially and socially. In the end, everyone (swimmers, parents, and the Club) benefits form an active and strong Club. The Club tries very hard to organize fundraisers that offer something of value to the public in exchange for their support.
