Beaver Buzz – Swim-A-Thon THURSDAY!
Hello Beavers,
Coming off our fastest home meet clean-up ever, a huge thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen! Now, we’re diving straight into our biggest fundraiser of the summer: Swim-A-Thon!
This event is essential for keeping registration fees low, supporting our coaching staff, and pool needs. We need everyone’s help to make it a success. If each swimmer asks just four friends or family members to donate $25, we’ll reach our team goal. Let’s work together and make it happen! CLICK HERE to create your Zeffy fundraising page and share the link with your community. Every dollar gets us closer to our goal! And we need your help! Click HERE to sign up for a shift (setup, lap counting, takedown).
Swimmers, as you arrive at practice this week, be sure to write your lap goal on the posters outside the coach’s closet. And don’t miss our giant, colorful fundraising cake—every donation helps us "frost" it up! Let’s fill those boards with big goals and even bigger energy. We've got this, Beavers!
💸WAYS TO RAISE
To help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal, here are some fun and easy ways to get involved:
- Create a Zeffy Page: Set up your personal fundraising page through Zeffy and share it with friends and family via email, text, or social media. Every donation helps our team thrive!
- Pledge Per Lap: Use the pledge form to ask supporters to donate a certain amount for every lap you swim. It's a great way to motivate yourself to go the distance!
- Ask in Person: Talk to neighbors, family members, or local businesses. A quick conversation can go a long way!
- Bring a Fan: Invite a friend or family member to come cheer you on during the Swim-A-Thon! We'll be accepting cash, checks, and debit/credit cards at the event for on-the-spot donations!
- Make a Video Message: Record a short video explaining what the Swim-A-Thon is and why you're raising money. Share it with your network—it’s personal and effective!
- Social Media Challenge: Challenge yourself to swim a certain number of laps and post your progress online with a donation link.
Let’s get creative and support our team together—every little bit counts!
