Aqualaps Week 5: $34,192 of our $78,000 Goal

Amber Treston

What a weekend! Congratulations to all the swimmers at the Savannah Cayce SE CHAMPS meet last weekend and a shout out to those volunteers who made it possible.

Only 4 more weeks to reach to our goal?? We can do it, but we can’t do it without your help! Please keep up the good work and continue to encourage your swimmers to get out there and help raise money for this amazing program.

Safeway Tables: There is space available tomorrow night (Friday 4/12/24)! This is prime time for donations. Everyone typically seems to be in a good mood and rather generous on Fridays. Time to whip up some cookies or brownies and get your name signed up! There are also other spaces available that need to be filled. Please help fill these slots or we may not have this opportunity next year.

Super Bear Tables: I see several open table spaces still! Please get your names on there.

SAVE THE DATE: Aqualaps Litter Pick Up Day Saturday, May 3rd at 4:00 – 5:30

In appreciation and as a thank you to the Juneau community for its generous support during our Aqualaps Fundraising Campaign, GSC swimmers will participate in a litter clean up event. So, when our friends, neighbors and family members make an Aqualaps pledge they are not only supporting GSC and encouraging kids to do their personal best, but they are also making a donation to the beautification of our community.

This year's Aqualaps Litter Pick Up Day will be held at both AGB and DPAC on Saturday, May 3 at 4:00-5:30 pm. 

All swimmers participating in Aqualaps are highly encouraged to attend the cleanup event. Please wear your GSC logo ware.  Swimmers will be accompanied by coaches and parent volunteers. Families welcome!  

We will need parent volunteers for this event. If you are interested in assisting then please reach out to our Litter Pickup Coordinator, Amber Tingey, at 907-957-5571. Volunteer hours will be credited. You can also sign up on the website under Team Events click Aqualaps Litter Pick up.
