The mandatory fundraiser this year is a gas card raffle. Each player will be required to pay the $50 during registration. You may pick up the raffle tickets at walk up registration. You will sell 50 raffle tickets for $1 each, which will recoup your investment if you sell all 50 tickets. The raffle will take place on August 18, 2012 at Dacula Park. We will draw 20 names and each person will win a $50 Gas Card.
The Dacula Gold Card Fundraiser (discount card with area merchants) will be offered as a team incentive this year. It will have more discounts than in years past. You will receive 5 cards to then sell for $20 each. This money is split between DAA and the Dacula High School Football program. For each card you sell your team will receive $5. Any unsold cards may be returned.
Each player will be required to pay a mandatory $70 spirit fee the first week of practice. 100% of this fee is allocated to your child's team budget.
