U of C Swim Club Fundraiser Raises $6400 for Swim Accounts

About University of Calgary Swim Club (UCSC)

The University of Calgary Swim Club (UCSC) is a year-round competitive swim club serving Northwest Calgary.

We had the opportunity to speak to Jess, the current Club Manager, about their recent Bow River Meats and Spolumbo’s fundraisers with TeamFund.

Jess loves organizing and getting to know all the different kinds of people in the club. Swimming relies greatly on parent volunteers, from officiating to running swim meets.

Keeping Swim Fees Affordable with Food Fundraising

UCSC has returned to TeamFund Fundraising twice a year for 3 years to raise money for swimmer accounts to keep swimming affordable.

By partnering with TeamFund, UCSC families can stock their freezers with grocery staples while earning 20% back for their athletes.

The funds raised by swim families and their supporters go toward training travel, meet entry fees, or gear and equipment.

Families can share and shop the fundraising link online and pick up their delivery from the university parking lot on delivery day.

University of Calgary Swim Club raised $6455 in their Fall 2023 meat fundraising campaign with TeamFund.

TeamFund tracks sales per swimmer so that Jess can divide the funds into individual swimmer accounts after the fundraiser.

In their most recent campaign, they raised over $6,400 to credit swimmer accounts.

“I like that TeamFund earns money back towards our swimmers’ individual accounts. It’s nice that they can get their groceries and get fees off at the same time. Our members really appreciate it, and they love how simple it is to order.”

Jess, UCSC Club Manager

Since 2020, UCSC has raised almost $45,000 to credit swimmer accounts. It’s not only easy for parents but also for busy Club Manager Jess to sign up and share the fundraiser:

“TeamFund is a great organization. Everyone we have worked with has been helpful and knowledgeable. We tried to do a Spolumbo’s fundraiser once on our own, but TeamFund makes it so much easier!”

Jess loves how easy it is to manage everything online while still providing great results for families who are looking for ways to raise money to help with the cost of swimming.
