Overview
Our 2025 Kick-A-Thon Fundraiser is quickly approaching and we are looking forward to seeing all our swimmers jump in the pool and kicking their laps for PASA! The Kick-A-Thon is an important fundraiser for our site of PASA
The Kick-A-thon is a great event for the swimmers to kick laps, the family to count and cheer their swimmer; and for the whole family to fundraise together. Come one, come all and make it a day of friend-raising, fun-raising in addition to fund-raising!
Kick-A-Thon (In the pool):
 - Please Find the Link to Pledge Form and Tax-Donation Receipts
- For each swimmer's Fundraising Efforts, we have the following 'Thank You' gifts: 
- Raise at least $100 - Invite to Thank you Movie Night - Wednesday, February 4th, 2026 (5:30 - 7:30 - Practice will be cancelled)  Team Viewing of the best movie of all times - Lego Movie!!!

Raffle
- Raffle Items - We have a wonderful selection Raffle Prizes many from our own swimmers who went to local businesses and request their donation to our cause.  These raffle items also include collections created by the coaches and recycled PASA gear. 
- Raffle Tickets - Will be for sale after the Kick-A-Thon.  Tickets will be $3 each, 2 for $5; 10 for $20. 
 
HOT CHOCOLATE WEDNESDAYS
- During Pacific Standard Time (11/2/25 - 3/7/26) the team provides hot chocolate to the swimmers.
- The Team will provide the hot water & hot chocolate mix.
- The swimmers provide a non-breakable mug and spoon to reduce waste.
We need parent volunteers (Sign Up HERE)  to help fill the swimmers' non-breakable mugs with hot water and mix so the coaches can continue to coach and because we CANNOT allow younger swimmers to serve themselves hot water.
- Some parents will also bring additional treats (marshmallows, peppermint sticks, etc) but this is by no means required or needed.

- Thanks for helping us provide one of these highlight events for the swimmers.
