PENGUINS SWIM-A-THON this Thursday!

We are revamping the swim-a-thon this year! This Thursday (July 10), during your normal practice time, come and swim as many laps as you can for a good cause, have fun with your friends and get a sweet treat at the end of your many laps. Every age group can participate! ‭ ‬

There will be NO regular practice for minis on THURSDAY, but if your mini wants to swim or walk a few laps in the shallow end, they’re welcome to join the fun!

Each‬‭ year,‬‭ we‬‭ choose‬‭ a‬‭ local‬‭ charity‬‭ to‬‭ help‬‭ those‬‭ in‬‭ need‬‭ as‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ to‬‭ fulfill‬‭ our‬ charter obligation‬‭ with‬‭ the‬‭ Burke‬‭ Centre‬‭ Conservancy.‬‭ This‬‭ year,‬‭ the‬‭ Penguins‬‭ have‬‭ chosen‬‭ the‬ Cystic‬‭ Fibrosis‬‭ Foundation‬‭ (cff.org)‬‭ again‬‭ since‬‭ we‬‭ were‬‭ so‬‭ successful‬‭ last‬‭ year‬‭ supporting‬‭ the‬ cause!‬‭ By‬‭ spreading‬‭ the‬‭ word‬‭ and‬‭ raising‬‭ money‬‭ for‬‭ the‬‭ foundation,‬‭ we‬‭ can‬‭ all‬‭ help‬‭ everyone‬ affected‬‭ by‬‭ the‬‭ condition!‬

‭Let’s‬‭ keep‬‭ the‬‭ Penguin‬‭ tradition‬‭ going‬‭ and‬‭ go‬‭ over‬‭ our‬‭ $3,000‬‭ goal‬‭ for‬‭ a‬‭ very‬‭ worthwhile‬‭ cause.‬

‭Your‬‭ participation‬‭ will‬‭ help‬‭ us‬‭ accomplish‬‭ our‬‭ goal.‬‭ During‬‭ the‬‭ event,‬‭ your‬‭ Penguin‬‭ will‬‭ swim‬‭ as‬ many‬‭ laps‬‭ as‬‭ they‬‭ are‬‭ able‬‭ to‬‭ raise‬‭ as‬‭ much‬‭ money‬‭ as‬‭ possible.‬‭ They‬‭ can‬‭ even‬‭ use‬‭ their‬‭ flippers‬ and‬‭ kick‬‭ boards!‬

Collect‬‭ Your‬‭ SWIM-A-THON‬‭ Pledges!‬‭ This‬‭ can‬‭ happen‬‭ prior‬‭ or‬‭ after‬‭ the‬‭ event,‬‭ so‬‭ we‬‭ get‬‭ to‬‭ keep‬‭ the‬ fundraising‬‭ going‬‭ until‬‭ the‬‭ end of the season!

Can’t wait to see you there!
