Fundraising
In order to keep registration fees as low as possible, continue paying for members' meet fees, and to qualify for government grants, the club must fundraise. All swimmers are required to pay a fundraising deposit for each season. The Club organizes fundraising events throughout the year, such as chocolate sales, a Swim-a-thon, a silent auction, music bingo nights and more.
Current and ongoing fundraising opportunities:
Fernwood Coffee Fundraiser
We all know what gets us through the daily grind - coffee! This fundraiser allows you to choose from five different delicious Fernwood Coffee roasts. 1lb coffee bags are offered for $18 (retail is $21! ). And for each 1lb bag ordered, you will receive a $5 credit to your fundraising deposit. So you're saving money and earning money. And the best part? It's easy. You don't have to leave your house. You simply purchase on the Oak Bay Orcas Square store.
Order by October 24th 2024 for delivery before Halloween!
Orders can be picked up at Crystal Pool or South Oak Bay the week of October 28th.
