Annual Swim Team Lap-a-thon!
Usually held in May, this in-pool fundraiser is where our swimmers earn money by swimming lengths of the pool. Swimmers can ask family, friends, neighbors, teachers, or businesses to pledge money per length, or make a flat donation in support of the SAY Swim Team and our overall YMCA community. Annual goal of $25,000.
How do your donations at the lap-a-thon help our team? The money allows us to subsidize and support the following:
- Team Equipment
- Olympian Clinic
- Swim Team BBQ/Picnic
- End of Season Banquet
- Sunkissed Team T-Shirts & Dinners
-
National Team Meet Entries
-
National Team dinners
-
Summit Y Community Strong Campaign
-
Summit Y Annual Campaign
-
Pool/Facility Upgrades - Blocks, Flags, etc.
National Team Fundraisers
In addition to the monies raised during the lap-a-thon, smaller team fundraisers occur throughout the year to assist our National Team at the 5 to 6 day long meet of “YMCA Nationals”. Transportation, lodging, meals, and meet fees quickly add up and fundraising is the way we ease the financial burden on our swim families.
Individual Contributions
As always any individual or family can donate on their own at any time to the YMCA via the website. www.thesay.org/give
