Nevada Desert Mermaids

You can help our young athletes accomplish their goals!

The Nevada Desert Mermaids Synchronized Swim Team, a non-profit, year-round synchronized swim club, seeks support from the community and its businesses. 

As a non-profit organization, we meet our operating expenses by assessing a financial obligation to the members and conducting various fund- raising events throughout the year. Our annual operating budget is approximately $125,000.

As our swimmers progress, they qualify for more high-level competitions which are held around the country, and the travel budget and expenses can increase dramatically.

Help the Desert Mermaids train, travel and continue its tradition of excellence in 2009 and beyond.

Your tax deductible contribution will

• Help the Mermaids showcase our swimmers in competitions throughout the United States

• Help to provide financial aid to those children who otherwise could not participate in this relatively expensive sport

As you know, nonprofits are facing a fundraising crisis this year.

The good news is that more than 900 of the top Internet retailers and travel sites including Amazon, eBay, Target, Apple, Expedia and more have joined forces with GoodShop.com to donate part of every purchase to your favorite charity or school at no additional cost to you (more than 72,000 nonprofits are now on-board)!

It takes just a few seconds to go to www.goodshop.com, select the Nevada Desert Mermaids, and then click through to your favorite store and shop as usual.

Also, Yahoo has teamed up with GoodShop's sister site, GoodSearch.com, to donate a penny to your cause every time you search the web. This is totally free as the money comes from advertisers.

To give you a sense of how the money can add up, the ASPCA has already earned more than $23,000!

Please tell Family and Friends about GoodShop and GoodSearch today and start raising money to support the Desert Mermaids.
