2. CSCS Fundraising Committee
Responsible for only two events in 2008
Success determines the annual monies to support the entire squadron
The cadets and all squadron programs depend upon the committee - Failure is not an option!
Parent support is critical!
Best opportunity to give back to CAP for all that it does for your cadet all year long!

3. CSCS Fundraising Strategic Direction
History:
For 3 years CSCS competed against commercial and other non-profits for the opportunity to work these lucrative and prestigious events!
In 2007, the Olympic shooting committee gave CSCS the sole rights based on our impressive quality, fair pricing, and impressive and courteous cadets based on feedback from the Olympic and national competitors that attended the events.
Today:
CSCS must work with Mark Weeks the new Olympic head coach to ensure our good relationships built over time are maintained and CSCS can support and meet the needs of the Olympic Program
Future:
CSCS retains this honored position to 2013 when the Olympic plans to hold the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS at Fort Carson and CSCS squadron will be in the world’s view as the sole concessionaire for the event!! This will be HUGE!! The Olympics plans to invest $1.2 million into the facilities alone for this one event! This includes a real concession area for us!!
