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, the Orcas receive a portion of the profit! So you're saving money and helping the Orcas! 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.
