How to Earn Back Your Fundraising Assessment

As part of NYAC fees, each family is assessed a Fundraising fee which is based on the highest group level of a swimmer in the family:
$300 ($150 for Intro Level).

There are many fundraising opportunities to earn back this assessment. Any monies raised over and above the assessment will be split with the club on a 50/50 basis and credited towards the following year's fees. The current opportunities are outlined below. We hope to bring you more in the near future.

Loblaws Gift Cards

About the program
NYAC sells Loblaws gift cards to families at face value. 3% from the sale of the gift card goes towards the family's fundraising account. For example, if you were to purchase $100 of Loblaws gift cards, $3.00 would be credited towards your NYAC account.

Purchase & Delivery
Cards will be available for purchase on a regular basis at the Douglas Snow and Havergal pools on Saturday mornings during practice. Please email me a few days in advance to ensure I bring enough cards to each pool. Please make cheques payable to "NYAC"

Shop & Support Gift Cards

About the program
NYAC sells various retail gift cards to families at face value. Each card returns a percentage of the face value as fundraising "profit". This "profit" varies from 1.5% to 15%, depending on the retailer and special promotions throughout the year. This year we are using a bulk order process (by the club) to help offset the high cost of shipping. As such, we will adjust our bulk orders throughout the year, depending on the popularity of certain cards. The fundraising profit will be split 50/50 with NYAC. For example, if you were to purchase $100 of Metro gift cards at 3%, then $1.50 would go to NYAC and $1.50 would be credited towards your fundraising assessment (applied to next year's fees).

Purchase & Delivery
Cards will be available for purchase on a regular basis at Douglas Snow on Saturday mornings during practice. We plan to make available grocery, gas, coffee, pharmacy, restaurant, movies and other select retailers. Please email me a few days in advance to check that I have the cards you would like and to arrange pick-up. Please make cheques payable to "NYAC".

About the program
Each family is required to raise a minimum of $100 for the annual Swim-a-thon. Most clubs in Ontario participate in the Swim-a-thon in the Spring as a way of support for the sport of swimming and as a method of financial support for the club. More details will be provided closer to the event.
