2024-2025 Fundraising Plan
Calalta Figure Skating Club is excited to announce our fundraising plan for the 2023-2024 skating season. As a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing high-quality figure skating programs to our community, fundraising plays a crucial role in sustaining our operations. With a fundraising target of $10,000, we rely on the support of our dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our community.
Fundraising Objectives
