What is Fair Share?
CRAA generates revenues through many sources: dues, profits from hosting invitational meets and swimming lessons, and
by holding fund raising activities. CRAA sponsored fund raisers offset the club's expenses, which in turn, helps keep the dues
as low as possible.  Fair Share is the CRAA's fund raising program.  A fund raising expectation is set for each swimmer for
each season, up to a family maximum.  These amounts can be found on the Registration / Contract page.


Members have two options for covering their Fair Share (fund raising) commitment.  CRAA offers fund raising activities, of
which a percentage of the money raised is applied to your Fair Share commitment.  If you raise more than your annual
commitment, that’s great and the club thanks you for your help!  If you don’t raise enough through your Fair Share activities
to cover your commitment, or you chose to not participate, your Fair Share commitment balance is simply added to your
account and paid along with your dues, meet expense, etc.

Hy Vee Coupon Books
We have Hy Vee coupon books that you can purchase for personal use or for family and friends for $5 each.  For each $5
purchase, $4 will be deducted from your fair share commitment.  So you can help fulfill your fair share commitment and
save money on groceries at the same time!  Just one of the coupons in the book is $5 off of a purchase of $75 or more,
giving you your purchase price back!  

We’ll also be doing some other fund raising activities throughout the year, such as a swim-a-thon, and maybe a few other
events.  If you have any ideas, or would like to help put something together, or are interested in purchasing Hy Vee coupon
books, please contact Judy Hackney at j_ney@msn.com or Tammy Chambers at tchambers@vmind.com.
