Swimmers and Parents:
Many of you have expressed concern that you may not have time to talk to friends and relatives regarding our upcoming fundraiser (Swim-a-Thon®). Obviously, the time commitment you have made to swimming – in addition to school and other activities – is tremendous.
This is our only fundraiser for the entire season and it will benefit you directly by assisting with your end-of-season travel and functions that the club provides that impact you (things like having coaches at meets).
To assist you, and make it less of a task to solicit donations, please follow the link below to a sample letter that you and your parents can send to friends and family via e-mail. You may personalize or change anything you wish and, by all means, please add your name at the bottom.
Sample letter (If you have any trouble with the link, please let me know).
Additionally, please check out the CrowdRise site. This will allow you to simply send a link (you could add the link to the sample letter) and contacts can donate online! You must register at CrowdRise to use this service.
Good luck with your efforts!
