Traditional Fundraising

Throughout the year, we offer several traditional fundraising opportunities where participants sell products to friends and family. Details for each fundraiser will be shared in our Facebook group, so be sure to join if you’re interested in participating. Past fundraisers have included items such as poinsettias and wreaths, flower baskets, chocolates, pasta, and bed sheets. Please note that participation in these fundraisers is limited to active booster club members. 

RaiseRight (Scrip Gift Card Fundraising)

Enrollment Code: 76CL299B8832

RaiseRight is an easy way to earn money toward your gymnast’s expenses—just by using gift cards for everyday purchases like groceries, gas, dining, and online shopping.

• No selling required 
• No extra time commitment 
• No additional out-of-pocket cost 

Families can earn significant funds each year simply by shifting how they pay for purchases.

How Donations Can Be Used

Funds in your account may be applied toward:

• Gym tuition and assessments 
• Competition-related hotel stays (athlete + 1 adult) 
• Airfare (1 adult per athlete) 
• Car rentals for competitions 
• Gymnastics-related expenses: 
• Training and private lessons 
• USAG membership fees

• Equipment fees 

Note: Funds cannot be used for non-gymnastics activities or other sports.

You may transfer funds up to $1500 per competition season to another 501(c)(3) organization with a valid Tax ID (TIN#). If you’re unsure whether an expense qualifies, contact the treasurer before submitting.
