2009 H2A KIDS FOR
KIDS SWIM
MARATHON
SUNDAY, APRIL
5TH, 2009
2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Dear Swim Families:
Our
Annual Kids for Kids Swim Marathon will be April 5, 2009. Our goal this year is
$25,000 and we will be donating 10% of what we collect to the
Children’s Relief Fund. We are very excited to be able to
help out this great organization. We are busy putting together an
exciting day for our swimmers and their families. An agenda for the day will be
sent out. In addition
to the marathon, there will be games, raffles, and of
course…food!
But we need your help!
In
order to make this a successful event, we need all families
to participate by:
1.
Soliciting pledges. You may write letters or
e-mail family and friends. Attached, is a Sample Letter including a
Swim Marathon Donation Form that your swimmer may use to contact
those folks who live out-of-town. Try to get these letters mailed
no later than March 16, 2009 so your sponsors have enough time to
get donations back before April 5th. You may also solicit
pledges from neighbors. Attached is a List of Donors Form
to keep track of the letters you send by mail or e-mail and
donations collected.
Please put your List of Donors form and any money collected in Kim
Collett’s box at the pool. Please put money and checks in an
envelope with your name on it so you get credit for what you
raise.
2.
Provide sponsors. A “Lane Sponsor” is
$200. This sponsorship
includes: lane recognition sign, name on event banner, pre and post
event publicity. A
“Friend of H2A” is $100. This sponsorship includes: pre
and post event publicity. All sponsor sheets should be in
by October 25th, so we have time to get signs
made.
3.
Provide corporate sponsors. A Corporate Sponsorship Form is
enclosed for any individual or business who is looking to sponsor
at a higher level.
Levels range from $250 to $2500 +.
This year we are very excited to offer prizes for all our
swimmers. Prizes at
certain levels will be awarded to every swimmer reaching that
level. Also, every
swimmer earns raffle tickets for every $25 they raise and become
eligible for some additional prizes.
The
coaches will help set goals for the swimmers in each group. We are looking for 100%
participation. Good Luck! Have fun and let’s work
together as a team to make this event a success.
All
the information can be accessed through our website at www.h2aswim.com. See you at the pool.
