TO HAVE FOUR, IF YOU HAVE ONE YOU CAN BRING PLEASE LET US

Swimmers will send personalized form letters to
potential sponsors asking for their support. The swimmers will
bring their addresses (labels) and energy. Blue Wave provides the
form letters, stamps, envelopes, food, & drinks.
Come after your practice on Saturday! Not
practicing on Saturday? That’s okay, come on down anyway and
have fun with your teammates.
Our goal is 100% participation during the 2010
Swim-A-Thon fundraiser campaign. If we meet that goal, we will
easily surpass the TEAM’s goal! PARTICIPATING IN THE
SWIM-A-THON FUNDRAISING IS PART OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR GETTING A
TEAM TROPHY AT THE END OF THE YEAR BANQUET! SEE THE OTHER
REQUIREMENTS

The optional USA Swimming Swim-A-Thon
packets will also be available if you would like to go door-to-door
around your neighborhood.
More details about the Swim-A-Thon will be soon
available at the Swim-A-Thon webpage.
- Tip#1 - Print mailing labels of
your mailing lists in advance. You can create labels by adding the
names/address to any spreadsheet program and print using the mail
merge function. Avery style mailing labels can be purchased from
any office supply store.
- Tip#2 - Bring return address
labels so your sponsor knows who the letters are coming from. Do
not have return labels? Follow tip#1 and print yourself some return
address labels in the name of your swimmer(s).
- Tip#3 - Create a
personalized note/letter to your sponsor to be included with the
sponsor form letter. Your personalized letter could be something to
tell about how your swimming went during the previous year. You
could also insert digital photos of yourself on your personal
letter. Print many copies and bring with your mailing
labels.
