Fundraising Web Site for Seton Cystic Fibrosis Swim-a-thon: Seton Swim Lap-A-Thon
On Tuesday, December 31st, we will sponsor our 13th annual Cystic Fibrosis Swim-a-thon. Every year, Seton hosts our own Swim-a-thon for Cystic Fibrosis on New Year’s Eve 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.
Quick Links:
- Here’s a quick link to the Cystic Fibrosis Swim-a-thon site where you register and also where the recipients of your fundraising e-mails go to make a donation.
- Parents, please sign-up to help with Lap Counting here.
If you are in town, you are expected to join us for both the swim and the fundraising. If you are a diver or not in town to swim, we still expect you to do your part with a little fundraising. Many hands make light work, so if 135 kids all raise just a small amount, it will be a large amount before we know it.
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. Proceeds go to support research into this disease at Johns Hopkins University.
Thank you to Sarah Given and Marianne Kohlhaas for their leadership for this event.
This year, the process is much easier. Swimmers, you have all been assigned to a fundraising team with one of our Team Captains. All you need to do is:
- go to the site,
- register yourself for your assigned team, and
- e-mail out the link to our Seton Swim & Dive Fundraising site asking for donations.
Your team assignments and detailed instructions are below.
Since we first sponsored this event in 2012, we have raised a total of $92,000. I hope to break the $100,000 mark this year!
If you want to know why we are doing this, here is a great fundraising video produced by the Brox family a few years ago.
So, 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:
I have broken down the team down into smaller fundraising teams of swimmers with each team led by a Seton team Captain.
