November 13, 2015 -- Fundraising Report!
The totals are in! We are pleased to announce the fundraising totals earned this year:
Noodles and Company: We raised a total of $852.00 this
year, $98 more than last year! It was so great to see so many support
this first fundraiser of the year! Not only did several other East High
sports teams come to support our efforts, the Highland High swim team
made an impressive showing as well! Fun to meet grandmas, grandpas,
aunts and uncles. It does take a village! Special thanks to Karen Day
for coordinating, organizing and spearheading this event!
Paint the "E": For
the second year in a row, we were able to come together as a team, show
off our artistic talents, show our school spirit....and raise $400 ($100
more than last year)! We hope to be invited to paint again next year!
Special thanks to Jodie and Carmine McDonald-Keller for coordinating,
organizing and perfecting this "fun"draiser.
Pancake Breakfast & Silent Auction: We raised $2,263 in breakfast sales and $2,839 for the silent auction for a grand total of $5,102, $520.50
more than we raised last year!
Thanks to the pre-event ticket sales,
we were able to raise several hundred dollars for breakfast sales over
last year -- 28 swimmers pre-sold tickets, way to go! The top three
swimmers will get a "free" practice and some "vintage" East Swim team
apparel. The winners are: Maddie Day ($98 in ticket sales), Jack
Swanson ($104 in ticket sales) and Cam Wright ($246 in ticket sales).
Thanks to EVERYONE who donated food, supplies, auction baskets and loads
of time and effort to make this such a big success!
Chipotle: We raised $1,381.41 this
year, $103 more over last year. Considering the cold weather and the
E. coli outbreak throughout the Northwest, I consider it a big win for
our team! Again, special thanks to Karen Day who did all of the legwork
to make this possible.
2015-16 Fundraising Grand Total: $7,735.41
Fundraising
dollars is used to fund a huge portion of the Cedar City meet expenses,
the Region's dinner, the State dinner, State team shirts, the end of
year Swim Banquet, and to offset costs for all of our fun team parties.
If there are extra funds, we'd also like to buy some team fins and
other equipment to make the most of those workouts!
A
HUGE thank you to all of the swimmers and parents who helped support
all of these efforts. We truly are the BEST team at East! Way to go!
Joslin & Jodie
