To date we have raised $536.00 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We will continue to fundraise until the end of October.  

All teams have been wearing their Pink Speedo (for those who have them) for the month of October to raise awareness and money for Breast Cancer Research.  The mission of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. They are the highest rated breast cancer fundraising organization in the United States. 

We continue to have a collection boxes for cash donations at the Snack Stand and you are able to donate on our fundraising page here.  

Thank you for your support!

We had a very touching tribute to Jake Cleland, a former swimmer and water polo player at Mira Costa who passed away a couple of weeks ago. Thank you to Stephanie Rudy and Lee Tunila for your help in bringing that event together. Jake’s parents and friends in attendance were extremely grateful for the team taking the time to remember him. Thank you to all of our players for honoring his memory by wearing the number 19! A donation was made to Clee’s Cause c/o Fight to End Epilepsy on behalf of the Mira Costa Boy’s Water Polo Team.

The Redondo game on the 29^th is at Mira Costa and it is also "Senior Day". A short tribute to the Seniors and their parents will be right before the Varsity game.

There are only a couple of home games left. Thank you to all the families who supported our snack stand this past week! You helped raise much needed funds for our BWP program! If you have not already purchased food or "bought out" of the snack stand, this is your week! Please click below for snack stand donations or if you still need to sign up for a shift.  The snack stand is one of our largest fundraising opportunities. Please support the team this week and next week!

The "Snack Shack" as it is affectionately referred to, is one of our largest fundraising and most fun activities that the Aquatics programs offer. It is open at all of our home games and tournaments. It takes a lot of man-power and donations to make it successful. Our team of Jane Tournat, Jane Tate, Giselina Romero, and Shelley Theodore will be organizing again this year!

Every family is required to participate in some way to the success of this program. If you are unable to donate your time or you are not a shopper, no problem, you can "buy out" and let the team do the work. A suggested donation of $50 made out MBX (with snack stand and your last name in the comment section) will let us do the shopping for what we need that week. Otherwise, please sign up for at least two shifts and two snack stand donations here! The Shack is truly the cool place to hang out! For questions, please call Jane Tournat at 310-871-7742.

Costa Boys Water Polo welcomes any additional donations throughout the season/year.  The funds we raise through our various programs help offset the cost of coaches' stipends, equipment, busses for travel to games, and many other things. In addition to volunteers to run the snack shack, host dinners, and help with other events, any cash donation of any amount is very much appreciated.  Please use this link or contact Susan Rossow and Bernie Zaia for more information.
