Thanks to all of you who have already spread the word and have acquired contributions.  This is an important fundraiser for all groups at Schroeder and we need every family to participate.  FYI, this is a cutting edge fundraiser in competitive swimming.  As a result, Swimming World Magazine published an article about our Schroeder South Dreamfuel Campaign.  Let’s show the national swimming community what we can do!  

Contact Your Swimmer’s Coach Directly And Mail All Checks to Matt Miller:

Please contact your swimmer’s lead coach for all questions.  So feel free to email your child’s coach or talk to her/him before or after practice.

Please mail all checks to Matt Miller rather than giving them to coaches at practice.  We have not lost a check yet, but practice can get a little hectic.  You can mail them to Matt at the following address:

Matt Miller, ℅ WSAC, 9240 North Green Bay Road, Brown Deer, WI 53209
