Swim-a-thon
Tuesday, June 22nd at Bella Vista Our team NEEDS to update a lot of our equipment, so we need ALL swimmers and families to support our annual Splash for Cash fundraiser. The money raised will pay for: a new computer to run our meet software; updating our sound system; our awesome new scoreboard, fins and hand paddles for practice and much, much more. (Prizes for the raffles have been generously donated to our team) This year there are 2 ways to raise money and WIN prizes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ (1) Raffle‐every swimmer will get 15 raffle tickets to sell (you can always sell more). Each ticket will enter BOTH the swimmer and the ticket buyer in our raffle. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. There will be many prizes for the raffle, and there is a nd. Tickets will be sold up until 7:45 on June 22
The drawing will begin at 8:00. Winners do not have to be present to win. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ (2) Swim‐a‐thon Pledges‐You will collect pledges (either for laps swam or a flat pledge). This year the swimming time is only 30 minutes (to allow for more FUN), so take this into account when you get pledges. Each swimmer gets to ask their aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers (basically anyone you know) to sponsor you at a per lap basis or flat rate. The prizes for pledges works like this… For each $25 collected in pledges, you get a prize and one ticket into your age group’s drawing for prizes and a For each $100 collected in pledges, you will also be entered into a drawing for GREAT prizes and a The drawings for swim‐a‐thon pledges will be held the first week of July after all money has been turned in and counted.
