💙 How the Swim-A-Thon Works
Swimmers collect pledges from family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone who would like to support the Garner Dolphins. We are working on finalizing our fundraising goal, but will get you the specific ways these funds will benefit your swimmers very soon!
Supporters can choose one of three ways to give:
- 💦 Pledge per lap (10 and over; 7-10 can choose either lap or time)
- ⏱️ Pledge for time (10U swimmers can choose time, any 6U that needs a kid catcher to complete a lap needs to choose the time option)
- 💵 Flat-rate donation
Every dollar raised helps support our team and makes a difference for our swimmers!
Each swimmer will receive a pledge sheet to collect donations before the event. They are attached to this email and we will be handing them out to parents at practices this week.
🏆 Prizes & Fun
There will be lots of exciting activities throughout the morning, including:
- 🏅 Prizes for the most laps in each age group
- 🎉 Prizes for the most money raised
- 🥧 Pie in the Face for our coaches and any parent who is willing!
🕘 Event Schedule - TBD
