BARRACUDA SWIMMING
Fundraising Information

Barracuda Swimming is a not for profit 501 (c) 3 organization as defined
by the Internal Revenue Service. Barracudas mission statement reads,
"promoting the development of valuable life skills through the sport of
swimming." Contributions made to Barracudas are tax deductible to the
extent the IRS allows. In most cases tax deductible contributions are those
that exceed the fair market value of the goods received in return for your
donations.
Barracudas participate in a variety of activities during the year to help
raise money for the club. Some of these activities are fundraisers and
other are volunteer projects that help bring recognition to Barracudas,
while teaching our children the importance of community stewardship
through volunteerism.
Our major fundraisers for the year are the annual Cuda Southern BBQ
and Silent Auction, Swim-a-thon and three swim meets. Together these
events net nearly $30,000. This money goes a long way toward financing
the annual budget and toward keeping monthly dues as low as possible.
Half of this event income is derived from the Spring BBQ and silent
auction.
Thank you! Our 2008 BBQ was a grand success. Your support and
dedication are truly appreciated.
