Families - You can support your swimmer by joining the BLAST Boosters or
by getting sponsors for the team. Funds earned will go toward purchasing
equipment and supplies to be used by the swimmers; things that don't fit
within the team's annual budget, but will enhance the program. Families
getting business sponsors for BLAST will get 10% of the total they bring
in credited to their family account! To be listed in the Summer Sizzler
program, Booster memberships and business sponsorships need to be turned
