Fundraising Contract

Ceres Pups Wrestling and Cheerleading Club [CPWC] is a non-profit organization, established in 2015 by founder, Steve Festa. The club's mission is to ensure that every athlete who wants to participate in the CPWC program is provided that opportunity. As a club, we fundraise throughout the year to purchase practice equipment, provide members with the ability to check out club-owned wrestling gear for tournaments, and help offset the cost for members to participate in team skills camps. 

We have two major fundraising events throughout the wrestling and cheerleading season:

1. Hosting the Ceres Pups Wrestling Tournament(s)

2. Ceres Pups TapOut Fest Fundraiser Event

Transportation Policy

Parents / Guardians of Ceres Pups Athletes will transport their athlete to and from all events, practices, or tournaments. Ceres Pups coaches and staff are not authorized to transport any athlete at any time. 

At the completion of the event, practice, or tournament, Parents / Guardians must be present. If not, Pups coaches will call the number on file and give an additional 15 minutes for the athlete to be picked up. If the Parent / Guardian does not arrive and/or is not able to be reached via the provided contact information, the Ceres Police Department will be contacted. If there are three incidences regarding designated pick-up time, the athlete will be removed from the Ceres Pups Roster. 

Media Release

Parents / Guardians of Ceres Pups Athletes grant permission to the Ceres Pups, staff, and affiliated members of the club to post pictures/videos/livestreams and other media to the Ceres Pups social media pages (Facebook, TeamApp, GroupMe, official Ceres Pups Website, etc). 

From time-to-time photos, videos, and livestreams will be posted and/or shared in order to highlight Pups activities, promote Pups events, etc. Ceres Pups Cheer and Wrestling Club reserves the right to release these images / videos to news outlet and related social media accounts.

Promoting good sportsmanship, by way of example, is required AT ALL TIMES. Ceres Pups athletes must not use foul language at practices, at events, at tournaments, camps or competitions, etc. You are representing the Pups Organization.
