Dinner Dates
Many of our local restaurants support us by giving a portion of what we spend in their restaurant back to the team. We LOVE that these restaurants support us! If you happen to know of any local places that offer this type of support for the community, please contact Leanne Wong.
Arrangements are made with each restaurant (designating a specific day), and then special flyers are distributed via email, the website, and by our coaches to be turned in at the time of purchase. These flyers are then used by the restaurant to track our TEAM totals. (Some restaurants are gracious enough to give us a percentage of the day without flyer tracking!)
Albertson's Community Partners Card Fundraising 
Many of you know and for some this will be new info. Team Eugene Aquatics (previously ECSC) is part of the Alberston's Community Program. If you have an Albertson's card you can link it to the team and the team gets money. This is a great opportunity to earn money for the team and you don't have to do anything but buy your groceries.
If you want to participate, go to www.albertsonscp.com and link your albertsons card to the team. You must do this even if you have already done so. They are having us relink everyone's cards. Use the same link to sign up for a new card.
Our community ID Number is 49000100429
Swim-a-Thon® 
Swim-a-Thon is a fundraiser in which participants earn money for their team by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers have a two-hour period to swim a maximum of 200 lengths. Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc. prior to swimming. Some choose to get pledges and money prior to swimming while others get pledges per length and collect the money following the Swim-a-Thon. With over 500 Swim-a-Thons conducted each year, this program has proven itself over and over again as a successful method of raising funds for teams.
The exciting benefits of this program are that Swim-a-Thon is not only an excellent fundraiser, but also an opportunity for teams to combine swimming and a social event. It can boost team spirit and increase community awareness of the team.
Golf Ball Drop
Team Eugene does a Golf Ball Drop every other year. This is an exciting event in which golf balls are numbered, purchased by anyone (numbered tickets correspond to numbered golf balls), and then dropped from a helicopter onto a golfing green. The grand prize goes to the ball that lands closest to the designated hole. Many runner-up prizes are for the next closest balls. This is an amazing thing to see- 5000 balls falling from a helicopter! Wow!!
Raffle Baskets
We sometimes put together raffle baskets at our swim meets. All items are donated by our members and sponsors. Gift cards, restaurant certificates, and combinations of theme items for baskets are greatly appreciated.
