SWIM-A-THON OVERVIEW
The Dolphin Swim fundraiser is an event in which team members collect money from sponsors in exchange for the promise of swimming laps above and beyond practices and meets. The event is like a bike tour or walk fundraiser in that participants pledge their physical activity in exchange for donations from sponsors to help fund a charity. The Kutztown Dolphins Swim Team is the “charity” that will receive 100% of the money raised through the Dolphin Swim. The team needs your help in fundraising activities!
This is a mandatory fundraiser with a minimum of $50 raised per family.
Prizes will be awarded to the 10 participants who raise the most money (details below).
INCENTIVES
Participants will receive “fundraiser beads” based on their age and number of laps they complete:
8 & Under: 1 for every 5 laps
9-12: 1 for every 10 laps
13 & Over: 1 for every 20 laps
PRIZES
Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 individual earners. To be eligible for a prize, each individual swimmer must raise a minimum of $80.00 in donations. The participant who raises the most will have the first choice of the prizes listed below, then the participant who raises the second most, and so on until the last prize remaining is claimed by the participant raising the 10th most. In the event of a tie, the participant who swims the most laps will select the next prize. If there is still a tie, the participant who obtained the most individual sponsors will select the next prize. If the tie is still not broken, a coin flip will determine who selects the next prize. Prizes will be distributed at the end-of-season celebration. Available prizes are:
Dunkin’ Donuts gift card (1 each: $20.00; $15.00; $10.00; $5.00)
Five Below gift card (1 each: $15.00; $10.00)
Rita’s gift card (1 each: $15.00; $10.00)
Pop’s Malt Shoppe gift card (1 each: $15.00; $10.00)
To be eligible for prizes, all donations must be turned in no later than the Thursday of the week before championships – no exceptions!
