Fundraising

Fundraising by the parent committee covers 80% of the squadron's operating budget. Although there is no up-front cost to join cadets, it is expected that all cadet families actively participate in multiple fundraising events each training year. The squadron can not be successful without your help.

The following fundraisers are planned for this training year:
