Fund Raising
Poseidon has a per family fund raising requirement. To help you reach your required amount, we offer several ways that you can generate funds without having to give your own. 1. Work bingo, about 10 times per year. 2. Make use of the gift card program (scrip)includes Ukrop's Golden Gift. 3. Sell advertising for our home meet programs. 4. Participate in the annual “Splash for Cash” swim-a-thon (in February). Information is distributed and kept on deck to get you started with the gift card program and advertising. Gift cards are ordered every Thursday morning after 9:00 AM. You can expect delivery by Monday afternoon. You can order using the paper forms found on deck or on line at www.shopwithscrip.com. Set up your account and the the Poseidon Enrollment Code 12818A3D1L8L7 to have earnings go to your account. If you ever have any questions, please call the office at 379-5480.
An advertising agreement is available here The swim-a-thon is a fun-filled morning and of swimming, music, food and prizes. Information on this event will be out about a month prior to the day of swimming. Of course you may always choose to make a charitable contribution, Poseidon is a non-profit organization and it would be tax deductible. Also some companies have a corporate matching program that can be put toward your Poseidon fund raising requirement as well. There are often restrictions on this type of giving so read the rules carefully. Poseidon is a United Way agency and can be listed as a recipient of your United Way giving.
Poseidon Swimming hosts bingo games every Sunday afternoon and Monday evening at the Bishop Ireton Center, 3300 Old Courthouse Road, Richmond, VA 23236 . Here is the schedule through October 2007, new one will be posted soon.
