Fundraising
Every year, we pursue fundraising opportunities to help support LPAC and other charitable organizations that are near and dear to our penguin hearts! The Splash & Dash fundraiser helps to keep costs of swimmer registration low. We are the cheapest and most fun swim team in our league! Other teams charge double the amount for their registration. When there is a fundraising event, please participate, have fun, and do your best to help support LPAC!
If you have any fundraising ideas, please contact Kelly Fumagalli.
2026 Fundraisers
First is our fundraiser to benefit LPAC
Our annual LPAC Splash & Dash, which will be held on July 1, 2026. All proceeds benefit LPAC and help pay for things like equipment updates, such as a new starter battery, a new Digital or Analog Pace Clock for practices, Time drops(a new league wide timer system) and the kitchen needs a new or slightly loved deep freezer with a lid that actually works.. Please help us to raise money for these causes this year. There are lots of fun prizes involved too; stay tuned for more details coming mid June.
In the Month of May we will have three separate chances to give to an ALS charity.
May is ALS awareness month and in our 2025 season LPAC was able to raise over $2,500 that went directly toward funding research for a cure through ALS TDI.This year there will be a few opportunities in the month of May to help raise money for our local philanthropy, and all funds raised from these opportunities will go directly toward ALS research.
