Give and Get!

We have shared reasons why you should make a gift to NOVA's capital campaign - to pay it forward, to enhance our kids' training environment, and to make a bigger impact in our community.

But, you may also want to consider the personal benefits of giving...including perks to naming rights.

Some of the more popular benefits with past individual givers have been the free heat sheets, designated parking during meets, a pass on annual fundraising and volunteering requirements, and more.

For businesses, a different set of benefits is available, including marketing opportunities, event and meet sponsorships, and other ways to promote your business.
