WESTERLY-PAWCATUCK YMCA
2014 -2015 SWIM TEAM
23rd ANNUAL SWIM-A-THON
ATTENTION ALL SWIMMERS AND PARENTS: The 23rd Annual Swim-a-Thon will be held on Wednesday February
4th and Thursday February 5th 2015 during regular practice times, and we will be celebrating with prizes and a
raffle. This year’s swim-a-thon will have the following format:
CLASS A & B will be swimming for 90 minutes
CLASS C & D will be swimming for 60 minutes
CLASS E will be swimming for 40 minutes
On the two nights of the swim-a-thon, a prize will be given for most laps completed and there also will be a
raffle. The number of laps completed will be recorded on your pledge sheet by the coaches. Please note that
swimmers are expected to swim the entire time period, not only the goal number of laps.
Our donation goal per swimmer is $40.00. All donations should be collected at the time of the pledge. A
pledge does not have to be a per lap pledge, but can be a flat pledge. Ask family and friends to sponsor you and
to come join the fun and cheer you on.
All the money raised will go to the Swim Team Scholarship Fund for eligible graduating swimmers, and to any
team member’s family in need of financial help. At the end of the year banquet, prizes will be given to the top
three fund raisers.
This is one of our largest fund raisers of the year so please participate. All team members are expected to swim in
the swim-a-thon! Please return your pledge packet to one of the YMCA swim-a-thon volunteers with the
donations on the day you are swimming. Attached is your pledge sheet.
Finally, many companies in our area have a gift program matching contributions made by their employees to
non-profit organizations. Please be sure to fill out the paperwork needed to process their matching fund
program. questions please contact Cheryl Bernat, YMCA Booster Club, at [email protected] or Elise
vonHousen at [email protected].
Good luck with your pledges and we’ll see you at the Swim-a-thon.
