The team's financial support comes entirely from registration fees and fundraising. Fundraisers are held as necessary depending on the funds available for the current year. Team sweat-shirts and Orca swim caps are sold for a modest profit. The Orca snack bar, Wine and Cheese Party, or the vacation raffle are the major sources of income. Sometimes a swim-a-thon is held if necessary. This is called the "Orcathon". No matter what the event or program, we rely on all parents, the community and local businesses to make the fundraisers successful and, therefore, the team successful.
