Ravensong Aquatic Club is a non-profit society, which means that we are not in the business of making money. We raise funds through a number of sources (annual fees, community grants, club sponsorships, fundraising, etc.) to ensure that we can pay all of our expenses, while allowing a small cushion for contingencies. Fundraising is important as it is the main method for raising revenue. See our Parent Handbook for more information on Club Fundraising. If you have any questions or concerns about fundraising and/or annual fundraising commitments, please contact our current Fundraising Chair (racfundraisers@gmail.com) or our parent liaison (ravensong.contact@gmail.com).

2025-2026 Required Club Fundraisers are:

1. Raffle Minimum: $100/swimmer in Raffle Ticket Sales (ticket minimum sales of $200/family w multiple swimmers)
2. Annual Swim Challenge: $100/swimmer commitment to a maximum of $200/family **all other monies collected by the swimmer towards the Swim Challenge will go towards the swimmer's personal account and will be credited on their invoice.  
3. Spring Bottle Drive: mandatory attendance / participation (includes swimmer and parent) or $100 / swimmer non-attendance fee will be charged

For each Fundraising Commitment not met, $100 will be charged to your swimmer's individual account. More details are in the RAC Parent Handbook. It is also expected families will attend/participate in other club-wide fundraisers as determined by the board. Please remember, ALL club fundraising efforts go directly towards the financial sustainability of the club.

Certain optional fundraising efforts run the course of the season. Funds raised through these optional fundraisers goes directly back to the club. Anyone in the community can participate in these fundraisers. These include:
