The Country Club’s
24 Hour Swim – A – Thon
August 7th
@ 8 am – August 8th @ 8 am
Team Goal: $ 5,000
About: This
year, along with our annual 24 Hour Swim and Dive Celebration, we will be
hosting a swim-a-thon. The swim-a-thon will give swimmers and divers an opportunity to raise funds for our charity of choice, The Children’s Center.
How It Works: Each swimmer will raise funds by taking
pledges from family, friends, and local businesses. Pledges may be made in one
of three ways:1) Flat Pledges in
which a set amount of money is donated based only on the generosity of the donor, 2) Pledges per Lap, in which pledges are based
on the estimated number of laps a swimmer plans to swim, and
3) Pledges per Minute in which
pledges made on the amount of time a swimmer is signed up to swim. Divers may
also collect pledges based on the number of dives completed during the
predetermined dive time of the 24-Hour Swim. In order to keep the
logistics simple, we are asking that all donations be collected at the time the
pledge sheet is filled out. This will allow us to give The Children’s Center
our donation during the celebration portion of our 24 Hour Swim.
Donations should be made out to The Children’s Center. Please provide
your address on the quarter sheet to receive a tax receipt.
According to the
mission statement outlined on its website, “The Children’s Center mission is to provide comprehensive mental
health care to enhance the emotional well-being of infants, toddlers,
preschoolers and their families. Each year more than 2,000 families come to The
Children's Center seeking help with a variety of problems. We work with the
child who is being expelled from preschool because of severe bouts of
aggression. We help the child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We help
families learn to effectively manage their child's complex developmental needs.”
Note: There will be a lifeguard or coach watching over the pool
during the entire 24 hour period and the pool will be adequately lit throughout
the night for the safety of the swimmers.
