Memorial Day Schedule and Splash for Cash!

SPLASH for CASH: May 26, 2011 – The Piranha Swim Team had their annual Splash for Cash to raise funding for the Piranha program.  It was a great turnout by all of our members--Bronze thru Masters--with most of the swimmers finishing the 5000 yard swim!!

Please make sure all your sponsorship dollars are turned in by next Friday—June 3rd.  After which we will tally each member’s fundraising and announce the prize winners at a special team event.

The team photo was awesome!  If you need to order a team photo, please contact Nichole at [email protected].  The team will also be ordering team photo “thank you cards” for members to send out to their sponsors as a final closure on our event.  This step is vital communication for continued support from the community and we encourage the team members themselves to send a special note of thanks.

 A big “thank you” goes out to all our faithful volunteers who helped with the set up and tear down for  the event. A special thank you to new Piranha Parent Jen Parks, along with Sunday Tomlin and Elizabeth Wickham for organizing the event, bringing in vendors and making it a special night with radio and TV crews present to capture the big event.  Thanks to Mr. Shaw for the great underwater photos of the kids!  Additionally, a big thanks goes out to the Gaertners for cooking up the great food and feeding the team.  There are many details that go into making an event run smoothly.  If you would like to be on the committee for our event next year, please contact Jen Parks at [email protected].

 This special event has provided much needed publicity for the Piranha organization.  Through this type of event, we can inform the community about all the programs we provide and how important these programs are for our youth.   The Piranha’s is now seen across the valley as the premier organization for promoting water safety, and helping young athletes with their goals in competitive swimming.  It is our aim to continue building this organization to be THE aquatics program of the valley and partner with the community to build a solid foundation for future growth.  Great job, way to go Piranhas!!

 

Memorial Day Schedule: This weekend, the Piranhas will conduct practices for the following groups and times: 

  • Saturday will be our normal Gold and Senior practice at 7:30am. 
  • Monday, Memorial Day, the Senior, Gold and Masters will be having a practice at 8:00am. (No practice for Silver or Bronze or Minnows.)

The facility is usually closed on Memorial Day but we have reserved space for our team on that day.

 

Again, a great job to the Piranha team and hopefully we reached our financial goals this week.  Thank you.
