Announcing the June 11,
2008 Piranhas SWIM-A-THON
FUNDRAISER
All Piranhas are asked to
participate in a Swim-a-thon fundraiser by seeking sponsors, swimming their
best and having fun during the Wednesday June 11th practice
times. We will have a “party atmosphere” at the pool during the Swim-a-thon
with snacks, drinks and cheering. At the end of the season picnic, prizes
and awards will be distributed.
Parents and swimmers are
asked to please help us reach our goals of 100% participation with an
average contribution of $25 from each swimmer.
WHAT IS THE SWIM-A-THON?
A Swim-A-Thon is a
fundraiser in which participants earn money for the team by swimming lengths
of the pool. Swimmers seek monetary pledges from sponsors using a pledge
form prior to the swim-a-thon. Swimmers get donations either for a fixed
pledge amount or for each lap they swim. A lap goal, based on the swimmer’s
age, is listed on the pledge form.
Fixed pledge donations
should be collected from sponsors at the time of pledge and a thank you
note/donation receipts provided to the sponsor by the swimmer.
For lap-based donations,
post-swim-a-thon collection receipts will be given to each swimmer for
collection by them. Details regarding sponsorships $50 or above from a
single business/individual can be found at
www.pinelochpiranhas.org.
Swimmers should turn in fixed donations with pledge forms on
Monday June 9th. Lap-based collection receipts will be
distributed to swimmers June 12th-16 th. All
donations should be turned into Piranhas Board members by June 20, 2008
WHEN IS THE SWIM-A-THON?
On Wednesday June 11th
during their regular practice times, each swimmer will attempt to swim as
many laps as possible. The completed laps are counted and recorded by
volunteers. After each session of the Swim-a-thons there will be snacks and
drinks provided at the pool!!
