This year’s annual Raider Swim-A-Thon is scheduled for Saturday April 25, 2009 at Wright State University. This event is a fun activity for the entire family to watch. Raider swimmers swim up to 200 laps at their own comfortable pace during the allotted time to raise fundraising revenue for their program. As a Raider Fundraiser, 100% of monies collected go directly to your fundraising assessment. Once your Fundraising Assessment has been met or exceeded, 50% of all monies will be credited towards your bill. This obviously will have a greater impact if it doesn’t come out of your own pocket, so hit up local businesses, friends, and relatives.

Pledge sheet packages are distributed in early April. Swimmers will bring the packet to the Swim-A-Thon so that the coaches can sign off the number of laps completed. Swimmer can swim a maximum 200 laps during the allotted time (1 lap = 25 yards) Pledges from sponsors are “amount per lap” So, for example, a swimmer in the Red group has a pledge for .05 per lap and completes 120 laps. The sponsor would pay 120 x .05 = $6. All pledge forms and money needs to be turned in to the Swim-A-Thon Coordinator or group coach.

Counting sheets and pencils will be supplied. All swimmers will need to supply someone to count laps. Special prizes will be awarded for the top pledge getters. Raider sponsor TYR will contribute to some of these prizes as well as some area merchants. All pledge monies must be turned in within 14 days of the event to be eligible for prizes and for the Fundraising credit to be applied to your bill in a timely manner.

The Raider Swim-A-Thon Coordinator will be setting up food and drink tables at the Swim-A-Thon, so please contact the Coordinator if you are able to donate food items, assist, or solicit items from local merchants.

The Swim-A-Thon has been a fun and exciting activity in the past, as well as an excellent source of funding for your program. Please mark your calendars for this special event.
