Profits are invested back to the program to help offset tournament registration fees, offer scholarships to athletes, and be spent in areas that the board has determined best serves the overall program.

It is organized under the Non-profit Public Benefit Corporation Law for public purposes and is not organized for the benefit of any person.

Fireworks Booth
Our single biggest fundraiser used to help raise money to offset tournament entry fees. All families with an athlete participating in USA WP National Junior Olympics are expected to help out and work at least one shift for every athlete that family has participating in the USA WP National Junior Olympics. Parent volunteers work in shifts. No one under the age of 18 allowed inside the booth. Great way to meet other Sacramento Water Polo families!
The fireworks booth is located next to the Taco Bell in the Bel Air Shopping Center at the corner of Manzanita and Cypress.
