Since establishment of the non-profit Arlington Youth Lacrosse Club, Inc. in 1988, each spring the club sold various products as its major fundraising activity. Over the years the percentage of players selling and the revenue derived from this effort decreased.
As a result, in 1999 we began a different fund-raising approach, a "painless fundraiser". We asked parents to make a tax-deductible contribution to the club if they or their children did not sell food items. This was quite successful in 1999 and in 2000; we raised more money with the "painless fundraiser" than was our commission from past food sale fundraisers, and it was a whole lot easier for all concerned.
So, we have eliminated the food sales and are relying primarily on the "painless fundraiser". We are asking parents to make a tax-deductible contribution to AYLC, a registered charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code Sec. 501c. Remember to keep your cancelled check as your receipt, or print your Paypal donation receipt for tax purposes.
Help support the Arlington Youth Lacrosse Club by making a secure donation via Paypal using your Paypal Account or any major credit card. You can also donate via a check or money order payable to, AYLC, Inc., and mailed to: PO Box 5200, Arlington, VA 22205. |
