2022 Fundraiser: Fun Pasta

They’re great stocking stuffers, teacher or hostess gifts! Each item is around $7-9. Fundraising packets will be made available to families at practice on Tuesday, August 9 with more information.
TWO WAYS TO SHOP, THREE WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR TEAM!
Print catalog and traditional order forms
Share the order forms and print catalog with family and friends! Order forms are due by September 1. Watch for more information about where to return completed forms. Checks should be made out to WBL MTN Bike Team. Orders purchased by order form will need to be distributed by seller. Info about distribution dates coming soon.
Send the link to the online store to family and friends: https://www.funpastafundraising.com/shop/white-bear-lake-mountain-bike-team. Online orders can be made through end of the day August 31. Make sure they select your name on the check out screen so you get credit for prizes!

FUNDRAISING GOAL
If each family sells ~20 items it will allow us to reach our fundraising goals for the season.

Parent Volunteers Positions Available

COMMITTEES Sign up for committees such as fundraising/scholarships, volunteer coordination, race day nutrition, and more. No experience necessary.
