Aqualaps Week 6: $39,452 of our $78,000 Goal

Amber Treston

I appreciate all your continued efforts in helping GSC reach our goals! As a reminder, all swimmers must raise at least $350 to help keep our fees low. Swimmers raising $500 or more are eligible for great incentive prizes! We also have some Grand Prizes for the top 4 swimmers raising the most money!

  • Limo Ride for you and some friends with pizza and ice cream stops along the way!
  • $50 Gift Certificate to Gross-Alaska Theatres
  • $25 Gift Certificate to Juno Froyo
  • Goldbelt 2024 Family Tram Pass – This is a new Prize that was added!

If you have turned in cash or checks, thank you for your continued patience! We are actively in the process of getting the money validated and entered into each swimmer’s account so you can see how much they have raised. Parents are highly encouraged to write a personal check in exchange for any cash collected by your swimmer. This will make our process of validating/recording the amounts much easier!

There are still tables available at Safeway and Super Bear. Please sign up! Encourage your kids to go around the neighborhood and ask for their support. Consider baking some goodies for them or offering to hit up a particular neighborhood during our Litter Clean up on May 3rd. Every little bit helps.
