Dear
,
On October 23rd or 24th, I’ll be participating in a Swim-a-thon to raise funds for my team,
Team Vortex Swim Club, and the USA Swimming Foundation.
Swim-a-thon is a really fun way to combine what I love doing – swimming! – with raising
funds for a wonderful cause. Together with my teammates, I will commit to swimming for
either 2 hours or up to 200 lengths of the pool. I’m asking friends and family to support my
efforts by making a donation to help Team Vortex reach their goal of raising $12,000 this
year. I’ve been training really hard for this and will be shooting for my personal best!
The money raised through Swim-a-thon will help maintain crucial programs and training on
my team, so that I can continue to excel and develop fundamental skills in both swimming
and life. Five percent of the money raised goes to the USA Swimming Foundation which
works to build the sport of swimming nationwide and also provide swimming opportunities to
kids who otherwise would not have them. Our team goal is to raise $12,000. If we meet our
goal.
I hope that I can count on your support to help me achieve my fundraising goal for Swim-athon. Just fill out the form at the bottom of this letter and send it back to me, along with your
donation. If you’d rather, go to our team website, www.teamvortex.org, and follow the
directions there in order to pledge online.
I really appreciate any support you can give. Your generosity will give me the energy that I
need to reach my swimming goal on October 23rd or 24th.
Thanks again,
