ASK YOUR SCHOOL FOR MONEY
Don't be afraid to ask your student government or your sports club council to help your team pay dues and entry fees. All schools have a budget for this that comes from tax dollars and student fees that you are required to pay.
It is important to have a presentation prepared ahead of time so when you ask you look professional and serious
If you know your budget that you need then make sure you list where the money is going.
Good Luck, and see you next season!

FUNDRAISERS
Want to start raising some money for your club?
Here is a quick, easy way to do this!
Empire and Collegiate Wake Apparel
Help with an event and get back 10%!
If your club will help raise funds for any of the Collegiate Wake Series events, Empire Wake will donate back 10% to your club. This could be enough to pay your clubs entry fees!
If you want to help with this, please email us at EmpireWake@gmail.comHow to structure your club the best!
Each club has their own system. The teams that are doing the best with organization have certain possitions they fill. We hope that in the next 3 years all clubs will have the same basic structure.
Here are the offices we hope you set up and fill.
President:
The head of the club. Gets all paper work into the school on time. Sets up a meeting spot and time each week or month. Keeps the website and and facebook page updated. Checks the Club Gmail account each day.
Team Manager:
Sets up club days, and is in charge of getting the club to events. This person books hotels, rental cars, flights, etc. The are also incharge of getting sponsors and maintaining them. This person is also needs to keep up with club equipment.
Vice President:
This person should be ready to take over the club at any time. They are to preform the duties of the President if they are absent. If the President resigns, this person becomes the acting president. Empire Wake feels it is best to have this person be an underclassman and be preped to take over the club when the President graduates. Your club needs to have someone prepared to take over so transitions are smooth.
Treasurer:
The most trusted person in the club! This person handles both on campus accounts and off campus accounts. They need to be ahead of the game to make sure to ask the school for funds far enough in advance to get them. They need to keep records of where the money is going and how it is coming in.
