Buckeye 200

By
Dear Buckeye Families,
Are you ready for the Buckeye 200?
We are excited for this new fundraising opportunity, we are asking our swimmers to swim and fundraise for our team.  We encourage all of our swimmers to take part in this important event. All you need to do is collect sponsorship and donations over the next couple of weeks, and then be ready to swim for 1.5 hours or 200 laps, whichever comes first. As you collect sponsorship's, remember that you will be eligible for some great prizes!
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  All of the funds raised from the Buckeye 200 will be used to pay for our pool rental time at the new wonderful facility at MC Fitness.
This year our goal is to raise $7500 ($150 per swimmer).  With the help of each family, we believe that we can do it!
Event Details:
  • Swimmers can be sponsored on a flat fee or per lap basis for each lap completed
  • Swimmers will swim for 1.5 hours or 200 laps, whichever comes first
  • Monday, July 11 6-7:30 PM at MC Fitness or Wednesday, July 13 6-7:30 PM at MC Fitness.  Senior/Junior/HS will count laps at practice on Tuesday, July 12.
  • Only swimmers with a completed Pledge Form will be permitted to swim at this time.
Prizes: 
  • The top fundraiser in EACH group will earn a dinner with the coaches later in the season.
  • The top fundraiser of the entire team will earn a pizza party for their group.
  • For each $25 raised swimmer will receive a raffle ticket to enter a drawing for a free private lesson with Coach Jenn.
  • We will also raffle off smaller prizes, such as BKYS t-shirt and USA Swimming gear

Turning in your funds:
  • Tables will be available during practice times on: July 13 & 18 at MC Fitness and at morning practices on July 19 & 21.
  • Checks should be made payable to Buckeye Swim Boosters.  Buckeye Swim Boosters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Extra T-Shirts

By
The Pollock Family has donated about 60 t-shirts sporting the new team logo to our Booster Club. The shirts come in a variety of colors and sizes. Each family will have their chance to pick ONE shirt on Monday or Tuesday at practice. On Wednesday, any shirts remaining will be available to anyone. A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches. Kast-A-Way has not yet printed our red t-shirts, if you would like to order one I suggest you call today. These shirts are being printed on a light weight t-shirt from Sport Tek.

Team T-shirt Orders

By
Parents you may order a t-shirt for yourself by reply email with your size.  They are $10 for parents (we already have swimmers sizes and there is no charge for swimmers tees) So! Yours truly has finally gotten it together and figured out a t-shirt for the season.  I was having extreme difficulty settling on something that captured how I felt about all the greatness going on in our program and the amazing loyalty we have from our families.  Finally we have something - it is at the printer and should be to us in a week or so.  They will not begin printing until next week, so parents can order shirts (kids get them as part of your fees).  Just let me know what size you want, payment is due to the boosters on receipt of the shirt.  This is a white 100% cotton pre-shrunk t-shirt with "Buckeye Proud" on the back and our team logo on the front left chest.   Orders are due Tuesday morning.
