Announcing the June 10,
2009 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 10th 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 a
contribution of $20 from each swimmer.
WHEN IS THE SWIM-A-THON?
On Wednesday June 10th during their regular
practice times, each swimmer will attempt to swim as many laps as
possible. The completed laps are counted by coaches and volunteers. After
each practice, there will be snacks and drinks provided at the pool!!
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
sponsors by the swimmer. Swimmers should turn in fixed donations with
pledge forms on Wednesday June 10th.
For lap-based donations, post-swim-a-thon collections and
thank you receipts should be distributed by swimmers so that all donations
can be turned into Piranhas Board members by June 26, 2009.
Details regarding sponsorships $50 or above, swim-a-thon
forms and sponsor receipts can be found at
