Step 10: Car Wash Fundraiser

for the past 3 years we have been on a big fundraising push to update all of our equipment. We were in need of new jerseys, warmups, balls, nets, etc. During the 3 years we were able to raise enough funds to purchase everything on our list to upgrade our program. During that time the boys were all tasked with the goal of raising $250 through our coupon fundraiser.

This year since we do not need to upgrade all of our equipment we will be fundraising for the sole purpose of running our program.

We will be hosting a car wash at the shell gas station on Adams and Walton on Sunday September 8th from 9am-4pm.

We are asking that your sons sell 10 car wash tickets for $5 each.

all funds for the car wash will be collected on the day of the car wash.

We do ask that all of the money collected by the boys be put into a check made out to RCS instead.

***Please have your check at the car wash on September 8th.

The boys will be volunteering in a few hour shifts on Saturday September 7th from 6:45am-4pm.

More info on this later just wanted to make you aware of it early so you can plan ahead.
