The divers of Taylor Made Divers compete nationally, and as a result of their frequent travel, a detailed and structured fundraising program is in place. The Team has tried using traditional methods of raising money (bread sales, wrapping paper sales, etc.), and has found that those methods do not provide the revenue needed for travel requirements, as well as for other financial demands on the team.

As a result, the Team (as a non-profit entity) has negotiated agreements with both the San Diego Padres and the San Diego Chargers. These agreements, while having some differences, are similar. Team parents and divers over the age of 16 work a concession stand at the baseball and football games. The Team is “given” an entire stand, and is responsible for all aspects of that stand’soperation on game day, except for purchasing supplies. Team members operate all of the cash registers, do all of the cooking, the cash management, and the clean up and inventory.

The other primary source of Team income is the Taylor Made Divers Invitational Meet held in early May.
