President: Nicole Guglielmo Treasurer- Lisa Brown rbrown607@comcast.net Fundraising Chariperson -  Melissa Graham What does the CGPF offer? The Foundation will offer monthly fundraisers that sell a product, such as cookie dough or pizza. A deadline and delivery date will be posted for each fundraiser. Orders must be handed in to the fundraising chairperson by this date. No deadlines will be extended. The Foundation may also sponsor fundraisers offering a service, such as a car wash or spaghetti dinner. You must volunteer for, and be present during this type of event in order to collect the proceeds How is the fundraising information distributed? Each cheerleader will have a file folder in a filing cabinet located in the gym area. This folder should be checked at each practice, as all Riptide papers and fundraising handouts will be put in these folders - No papers will be handed out.  CHECK YOUR FOLDERS!!!  We encourage all parents to get involved. Bring your ideas, comments and suggestions. And as always, teach your child basic safety rules when fundraising. Sell to friends, family, neighbors and business associates and never let your child fundraise door-to-door without adult supervision  Upcoming fundraisers and other important CGPF information will be posted in the gym. This information will also be available on the Riptide website at www.cheergymforfun.com. Please check this website often, as important information, reminders and announcements are frequently posted.
