Red Cross Swim-A-Cross Reminder
Timber Lane Tigershark Members:
AS A REMINDER I'M RESENDING THIS EMAIL.... This event is next Saturday, May 24th.
Please be aware that the one and only mandatory fundraiser is coming up. On Saturday, May 24th (7am-10am), will be the Red Cross Swim-A-Cross. Please print the sponsor sheet attached to this email, and fill out the information. We are sending this out to you now to give you plenty of time to get donations ready. Since this is a mandatory fundraiser, we are asking that you get a minimum total donation of $75 per family, or you may choose to "buy out" for $35 per family. During the Swim-A-Cross the swimmer is asked to swim as many laps as they can up to 100 laps. Donations can be pledged on a per lap basis or a flat donation. For example, Mary pledges to pay Jane $0.10 a lap that she swims. If Jane only swims 25 laps Mary would only have to pay $2.50, if Jane swam 100 laps Mary would then have to pay $10.00. There is no maximum donation per lap or otherwise, go as high as you can, but there is a minimum of $0.10 donation per lap. Remember, the required minimum donation for the fundraiser is based on all your swimmers. If you have more than one swimmer on the team then they combined are required to get either $75 in donations or pay the "buy out" for $35. We encourage you to get as many donations as you can because this not only helps the Red Cross it also helps our team. The swim team gets half of all donations and the Red Cross gets the other half. All money is due by Friday, May 30th payable to the swim team.
Should you have any questions, please email me or ask a board member during practice.
Thank you,
Sabrina Michalsky
