LAST CALL! JOIN US AT THE TURNING THE TIDE SWIM-A-THON ON MAY 2

 

Our very own AGUA swimmer, Ali Wright, is again organizing a swim-a-thon in support of Asphalt Green's community water safety and learn-to-swim programs. Last year, she raised $75,000 for our water safety initiatives, and has already raised over $80,000 this year. 

 

This year, Ali is thrilled that her AGUA teammates Mark Silverman and Kate Casciato will help run the event. With your participation, you can join Ali, Mark, and Kate’s cause to expand access to swim instruction. 

 

Join us as one of our swimmers!

  • When: Saturday, May 2, from 9:30am–12pm

  • Where: Asphalt Green’s Upper East Side pool.

Participation is easy. Simply:

  • Sign up to swim.

  • Swim with us on May 2!
