Hi everyone!
 
My name is Ali Wright and I am organizing a Swim-a-Thon fundraiser in support of Asphalt Green’s community water safety initiatives and skill development programs. These efforts will create pathways to swim instruction for individuals and families facing financial hardships. I am asking if you would join me as one of our swimmers! 
 
The event will occur on Saturday, May 31 – the last day of water safety month – from 2pm-5pm at Sacred Heart’s pool.
 
Participation is easy. Simply:

  1. Sign up to swim via the Google Form linked below.
  2. Ask friends and family to donate to your effort, either through a flat donation or by pledging a certain amount of money per lap you swim. (Donation links and promotional materials will be provided.)
  3. Swim on May 31!
