Swimmers, you have all been assigned to a fundraising team with one of our team captains. Each Captain has their own Team fundraising page on the Cystic Fibrosis fundraising site. All you need to do it go to your team’s site, set yourself up as a team member (aka “Ambassador”), and send some e-mails with the link to family and friends. Your team assignments and detailed instructions are below.
And plan to be on deck at the Freedom Center on Saturday, December 30th at 9:39 a.m. to start stretching – whether or not you have done any fundraising.

Fundraising Instructions:
Every year, Seton hosts our own Swim-a-thon for Cystic Fibrosis on New Year’s Eve (this year it is on a Saturday since New Year’s Eve is a Sunday) from 10:00 to 1:00 p.m. at the Freedom Center. Every swimmer on the team joins us that morning to swim 200 lengths of the pool – you can do it! Please be on deck ready to stretch at 9:39 a.m.
Even if you cannot make the actual event, please plan on joining the fundraising effort. Proceeds go to support research into this disease at Johns Hopkins University.
This is a cause that is close to me because, over the years, we have had a number of kids on the Seton Swim Team who have suffered from this disease.
Thank you to Robin and Sarah Given for their leadership for this event.
I have broken down the team down into smaller fundraising teams of swimmers with each team led by a Seton team Captain.
