Background:
At the March 2012 parent meeting, the 2012/13 budget was approved requiring fundraising in the amount of $10,000 (about $200 per athlete) in order to fund this year’s race program. The discussion was very specific in that fundraising was strongly preferred over fee increases or service cuts. Our sponsor Fresh Air Experience stepped up in September and offered to support our efforts by donating an exceptional Nordic prize package for a raffle. At the October 2012 parent meeting, it was agreed that we would undertake the raffle project, and that every athlete would be expected to take a minimum of one book of 10 tickets. This is the best opportunity you will have this year to fulfill your fundraising obligation. Click here for the flyer with details of the prizes. Tickets are $5.00 each.
