FUNDRAISING
The majority of our fundraising will take place this month. We have a big goal of raising $60,000 this year. This money is used for travel expenses, camp fees, tournament entry fees and much more. We are already on our way to our goal with just over $12,000 raised from our car wash and Legends Hospitality events!! Thank you to everyone who has participated.

CASH CALENDAR: We did this last year and it was very successful. Attached is a calendar for your wrestler to receive donations on. Each date equals the total of the donation. We make 100% of the profit. All wrestlers that fill their entire calendar will receive a custom sublimated Nashville Catholic Wrestling sweatshirt with their last name on the back. Image is coming soon!! All calendars and donations need to be turned in by November 2, 2022.

LAUNDRY/SOAP FUNDRAISER: Everyone uses soap!! Please see the attached flyer for products and prices. These 5 gallon buckets retail for $150. Our goal is to sell a total of 350 units. All calendars and payments will be due November 2, 2022. The items will be ready for pickup 7-10 business days after our due date.

LEGENDS HOSPITALITY: We are approaching our final Legends Event of the fall season on October 23. We need five more volunteers to fill our signup genius. We will receive our assignments from Legends this WEDNESDAY and will need to provide them with a roster of our workers. Please consider signing up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4BA8AF2AABFBC43-legends . If you are signed up for a TEAMs certification spot please email NCW when you have completed your training.
