2010 H2A KIDS FOR KIDS SWIM MARATHON
SATURDAY, MAY 1, 2010 – HILTON HEAD ISLAND RECREATION CENTER
Dear Swim Families:
Our Annual Kids for Kids Swim Marathon will be May 1, 2010. Our goal this year is $15,000 and we will be donating 10% of what we collect to the PoohStrong Foundation in memory of Coach Jack’s brother, David Andrew Maddan. PoohStrong is a not-for-profit organization that raises money for Cancer research. If you would like more information about the PoohStrong Foundation, please visit the website at www.PoohStrong.com. 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. 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, post event publicity. A “Friend of H2A” is $100. This sponsorship includes: post event publicity. All sponsor sheets should be in by April 19th, 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 $10,000+.
4. Birdies for Charity. Any donations equaling $100 or more will be written over the Birdies for Charity for a matching donation for participating in the Verizon Heritage Golf Tournament.
This year we are very excited to offer a participation gift to our swimmers who participate the day of the marathon. Also, every swimmer earns raffle tickets for every $25 they raise and become eligible for some additional prizes. In addition to those prizes, there will be grand prize of an Ipod Touch to the swimmer who raises the most money overall. That prize will be awarded on the night of our Team Banquet on Sunday, May 16th at St. Francis by the Sea Family Center.
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.
