The ability to provide an exceptional quality swimming program for all current and future swimmers requires that the Piedmont Family YMCA/CYAC Swim Team supplement program fees with additional revenues generated by fundraising activities. To assist families in meeting their fundraising obligations, CYAC operates the following programs listed below. Parents and swimmers can choose to participate in one or more of these programs, depending on which of these activities works best for them. As you participate in these fundraising activities, the family’s account will be credited the dollar amounts accumulated/earned as defined under each program.
