Get Involved
Each family is required to participate in fundraising events throughout the season, keeping fees accessible and programs strong.
Held monthly (occasionally twice), a key source of club revenue. Two volunteers assist from 3:30–9:30 pm each event (three for Monster Bingo). Families who don't volunteer for a Bingo or two equivalent TNL initiatives are billed $300.
Families buy gift cards for everyday spending — groceries, gas, and more — and TNL earns a percentage on every card. An easy way to support the club through purchases you already make.
Our largest fundraiser of the year. All swimmers participate and are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges. Volunteers help with timekeeping, supporting swimmers, and refreshments.
Held each November on Facebook. Every family is asked to donate an item for the community to bid on.
Held during the Christmas season. Each family purchases a minimum number of tickets, which can be resold or used personally. Volunteers help with organizing and ticket sales.
