Thank you to all FISH families who participated in the Holiday SCRIP Gift Card Fundraiser. It was a huge success! Although we are not participating in that program year-round, we are still able to order Giant Food gift cards. Giant Food will donate a percentage of what you spend in their stores to the FISH when you purchase gift cards through the FISH. This will allow every FISH family an easy way to provide support, without spending more than you already do on everyday purchases including prescriptions. This is a simple way that you can help the FISH. There are several reasons why you should help the FISH through this fundraising effort:
· Keep annual fees down. Just this past year the pool rental fees increased, USA Swimming registration increased, yet we chose not to raise team dues,
· Hiring additional coaches to better our program for the athletes,
· Adding extra practices, and pool time where possible, including our pre-season program, expanding Monday practices, special holiday practices, and stroke clinics/time trail sessions over Winter and Spring break.
A few other points...
· You can order Giant cards in $50 or $100 denominations,
· We have to order a minimum amount of Giant cards to place the order,
· Once the order has been placed it may take up to a week for the Giant cards to arrive.
We believe this program will be beneficial to the FISH and help raise funds that are needed to help us achieve our goals.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support.
