2012 FISH Swim-A-Thon
Support Your Team & Show Your Thanks; Come Swim
Our Swim-A-Thon® is for the benefit our
entire FISH Team!
Chair-Person: Christina Ewing
At the Fish we are truly privileged to have so many great swimmers. We are also very fortunate to have dedicated and caring coaches who strive to bring out the best in everyone. It's time to show them how much we appreciate all that they do for us. Swimmers, we are asking you to come swim as many laps as you can on Saturday April 14th for the FISH team and our coaches. Every lap swum raises money for your team and will benefit all those swimming and working for the FISH.
Keep in mind that the FISH swim team is a nonprofit
organization. That means the
team's sole purpose is to develop each swimmer into the best athlete possible.
As a non-profit organization the FISH relies on your generous support to
maintain its high standard of quality. The Swim-A-Thon® is a fun and exciting way to raise funds needed. Yes, we pay dues
but there are many more expenses involved in running a successful team like the
FISH.
By participating in the 2012 Swim-A-Thon® you are helping
your team raise money to create special opportunities for athletes that
otherwise would not be possible. For instance:
· Funds
raised allow the FISH to invite Olympians like Ian Crocker and (more recently)
Tara Kirk to our pool to provide a valuable and memorable experience for all
swimmers on the team. (Remember: Kirk's
visit was a result of last year's Swim-A-Thon!)
· Our
coaches' travel expenses are covered through fundraising moneys so that these
expenses are not rolled over to the swimmers who are traveling.
· Funds
also allow the FISH team to help make all swimmers feel special and recognize
their dedication by providing unique tokens such as special swim caps,
memorable USA Swimming patches and much more.
· Most
notably funds raised provide scholarship money to potentially great swimmers in
our community who could otherwise not afford to swim and compete. To the many
children who receive assistance, the opportunity to be part of our team is precious!
This year
we are striving to have each swimmers raise $100 or more. The Swim-A-Thon is not
a clinic that has an admission fee; it
is our most important fund raiser which needs genuine involvement. Swimmers
should be coming to show their thanks and support their team.
