Fundraising is necessary because swim tuition does not cover the entire operational cost of our team. The profits from fundraising are used to help offset expenses (pool rentals, office supplies, banquet costs, etc.) and to keep TEAM SEA’s fees low in comparison to other local swim teams. Fundraising can also provide our team with the ability to purchase new training equipment, ribbons, medals, and other supplies necessary to run a competitive swim team. There are a number of ways your family can meet your fundraising requirement during the year!

Fundraising Requirements
The TEAM SEA family fundraising requirement for our Fall & Winter Season is $150, and for the Spring & Summer, $75 (families meeting their $150 obligation in the Fall & Winter are exempt from fundraising in the Spring & Summer). Information is provided below on opportunities for SEA fundraising.
Scrip Fundraising for SEA (on-going event)
SEA offers SCRIP sales as a fundraising option for our families. This has proven to be an easy way for many families to meet their fundraising requirements! SCRIP offers gift cards for many favorite merchants and restaurants, including Kohl's, Walmart, Pick 'n Save, Target, Kwik-Trip, Starbucks, Amazon, and iTunes. They make great gifts and are easy for families to use for personal use while fundraising. Take a look at the list, watch for specials, and see how easy it is to raise funds while you shop. Read the "how to" page here and visit the link here. Also, read about PrestoPay here.
Your order can be placed at www.shopwithscrip.com by using the SEA Enrollment Code (please email Neil Wright at south.eastern.aquatics@gmail.com) and registering for Presto Pay at least two days before placing your first order. DO NOT place your first order until the PrestoPay registration process is complete. PrestoPay is safe, simple, and the only payment method accepted by SEA.

SCRIP delivery is in the pool balcony/bleachers on a combined practice night, but individual arrangements can also be made.
