Traditional Fundraising

---

Throughout the year we will have several traditional fundraising opportunities where you are able sell a "product" to your friends and family.   Details of these events will be posted in our Facebook group, so please make sure you join if you are interested in those type of fundraisers.  Examples from previous years have been poinsettia and wreath sales, flower baskets, chocolates, pasta and bed sheets.   You must be a paid booster member to take part in these fundraisers.

How can you use donations??? 

Donations received can be used for gym tuition, assessments, hotel (nights of competition/practice only), plane tickets (1 adult per athlete), car rentals. You may also use it for any gymnastics related training, private lessons, USAG yearly membership, clinics, choreography, and equipment fees. You cannot use your fees for other sports. You can transfer your monies to another 5013c with a  valid TIN#. You can always ask the treasurer if you are unsure what is and what is not covered. Any reimbursements must have a valid receipt within one year from submission the previous year. 

You will generally receive a statement of all donations received around the beginning of each month. Checks are written TWICE a month to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month. If you do not make a request in the allotted time, you are free to do so the following period. All requests must be submitted to the treasurer 3 business days prior to these dates in order to receive on time payments. All requests are to be made to the treasurer via the google form link found on this website.   

Reimbursement requests must follow our Reimbursement Guidelines as well as our By-laws. Please read the appropriate thread on the  Facebook page regarding this policy before submitting any reimbursement requests. REIMBURSEMENTS ARE ONLY ISSUED ON THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH

If your daughter leaves Ascend Gymnastics, you have 30 days to designate where your funds will be sent or those funds will  be reverted to the general fund, unless prior arrangements have been made.
