CLUB SUPPORT PROGRAM

Fundraising is a crucial component of the ongoing success of the Santa Barbara Swim

Club, a non-profit organization. While your monthly dues cover training and pool fees,

running a successful swim club relies also on generous fundraising contributions from

our members to support a financial budget that includes coach travel to and from swim

meets, pool facility rental for training and competitions, swim scholarships,

administrative fees such as insurance, billing and accounting, and many other expenses.

Financial support from our members is very necessary and very much appreciated!

What is Club Support?

Club Support is the annual fundraising obligation of each member / family. The annual

Club Support obligation for SBSC is $250 per family.

How can I meet my annual Club Support obligation?

There are several ways to meet your annual fundraising obligation. Please refer to the subtabs under the "Fundraising"

tab on the home page. Some families prefer to simply write a check in the amount of $250 to cover their

annual fundraising obligation. If you prefer this option, checks can be made out to SBSC and delivered to the swim office.

How will I know the status of my annual fundraising obligation?

The SBSC Board of Directors communicates regularly with SBSC members regarding

their annual fundraising requirements. This communication includes a periodic Club

Support statement that reflects where members stand in meeting their annual obligation.

This statement is delivered at least quarterly via e-mail. Questions about your Club

Support statement can be directed to the swim office at swimoffice@sbswim.net.

Is there anything else I should know about the SBSC Club Support program?

Yes, two more things. First, please note that if your children swim in the Novice group

only, you do not yet have a Club Support obligation. You will receive your first

statement once your swimmer starts in the Age Group program. Second, please note that

excess donations in one fiscal year may not be carried forward to a subsequent year or be

transferred to any other monies owed to the club (i.e. monthly dues).

If there are any questions about this program please feel free to email our club president

at president@sbswim.net.

We value your support and thank you for your involvement in SBSC!

Sincerely,

The SBSC Board of Directors
