Good evening!!

I know it feels like we have been hitting you all from all sides about fundraising…and unfortunately I’m messaging to ask for you help with one more.  Next Tuesday, July 12 is our Swim-a-thon and team breakfasts.  During practice your swimmer(s) will have a time slot where they will swim as many laps as they can in that time frame.  What we’re asking is for each swimmer to get sponsors for their swimathon.  There are two way this can be done:

1. A flat donation.  For example Aunt Sue donates $10 to Billy.

2. A pledge for each lap that the swimmer completes.  For example $.50 a lap.  (This one is fun for the swimmer and adds a little motivation)

We know we’ve been asking a lot but the fundraising that the team does allows us to stay up to date with new technologies like our awesome new timing system and helps us purchase and maintain the necessary equipment for the team.  Things like lane lines and flags are not cheap!!!  Jen Humble will be at the early practice tomorrow and Kerri Black will be at the late practice…both will have sponsor spreadsheets for each swimmer to start to gather donations. Pam Melillo will be sending out a Sign Up Genius for team breakfast.

One last quick reminder that this is our third fundraiser opportunity and those who haven’t participated in 2/3 will be asked to pay the $75 fee.  The cooler raffle ticket sales are still going on so if you haven’t gotten those see myself or Kerri to get some!!
The board is so grateful for your willingness to step in and step up.  You all are wonderful :)
