We have 2 Fundraising options at FaR Out to help offset athlete’s fees for the season. The two options are a cookie dough sale and the SCRIP program.
Cookie Dough Sale
We do a cookie sale twice a year where you are able to sell cookie dough. $8 of every box you sell goes toward your club fees. Every athlete at tryouts will receive a cookie dough sheet, extras can be acquired by emailing Cameron (cameron@faroutvolleyball.com). The date for turn in and pick up will be announced via email to all athletes placed on teams.
SCRIP
We also participate in SCRIP. It’s a program where you buy gift cards either electronic or physical and a percentage goes toward your club fees. Many of the brands that SCRIP carries are purchases most families make on a regular basis (groceries, gas, etc.) so this is a great way to get kick backs on money you are already spending. SCRIP requires an enrollment into the program and to do so email Roxane (roxane@faroutvolleyball.com).
We also have the opportunity for scholarship if there is a dire financial need.
