Swim for a Cause
Download details and pledge form.
The 1st Annual MacDolphin Swim for a Cause will take place on Wednesday, July 9th from 4:00 to 8:00. This is an exciting fundraiser that our MacDolphin swim team will be participating in to raise money for a local charity. Swimmers will have two hours to swim as many laps as possible.
This event will boost team spirit but more importantly increases community awareness of our team. This year the team will be making a donation to the Caring Community Foundation, a local organization that provides financial assistance to cancer patients in need in the Triangle area. In addition, the foundation provides opportunities for kids to get involved through the Caring Community Kids initiative. CCF Kids collects artwork squares from area children that are transformed into custom quilts and provided to kids undergoing cancer treatment or who have a family member with cancer. This is a great way to raise awareness of the needs in our community and to get kids involved with helping other kids. For more information please visit their website at http://www.caringcommunityfoundation.org.
There are two ways that a sponsor can make a pledge, flat rate or per length rate sponsors. You can receive pledges from family, neighbors, relatives, businesses, or other community members. The deadline to receive pledges is Tuesday July 8th.
Flat Rate Sponsorship
Sponsors pledge a flat rate regardless of the lengths completed by the swimmer. These pledges can be for any amount and collected prior to the event. This is by far the simplest and most preferred method of sponsorship.
Per Length Sponsorship
This sponsorship is based on the number of lengths a swimmer swims. A sponsor specifies an amount per length they want to pledge. Advise the sponsor how many lengths you intend to swim, this way all donations are collected prior to July 9th.
- All Pledges should be turned in no later than Tuesday, July 8 at 6:00 PM.
- All swimmers who participate in the event will receive a bracelet and celebratory after party.
- Volunteers Needed I will need several volunteers to help count laps. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out.
