Team Fundraisers
Required Team Fundraising
Each season, the team will designate one or more official fundraising opportunities. Participation in designated required fundraisers is a condition of team membership. Our primary required fundraiser is Laps for Lightning, during which each family is expected to meet the minimum fundraising requirement established for the season.
If additional fundraising needs arise, the team may designate other required fundraising opportunities during the season. Families will be notified well in advance of any additional fundraiser, including participation expectations, fundraising goals, and deadlines.
Laps for Lightning is our signature team fundraiser and one of the highlights of the swim season! During this event, swimmers collect donations from family, friends, neighbors, and supporters while challenging themselves in the pool. Funds raised through Laps for Lightning directly support the Lancaster YMCA Swim Team and help provide outstanding coaching, quality training facilities, equipment, team activities, and end-of-season celebrations and awards. Each family is required to raise a minimum of $100 during this event.
In addition to supporting the team, Laps for Lightning is a fun day filled with team spirit, friendly competition, and exciting incentives for our swimmers. It is an opportunity for every athlete to contribute to the continued success of our program while building pride in our team.
Additional details, fundraising goals, prizes, and event information will be shared with families each season
