Splash Out Cancer

November 7 - 8, 2009 ... SWIM's first ever Splash Out Cancer swim meet was a huge success. Swimmers efforts through Chores for Charity and selling baked goods raised over $1,300. The team donated a portion of every swimmer's entry fee, sold raffle tickets, t-shirts and more to net a total donation of $6,010.27 for the American Cancer Society. Many thanks to Dr. Cindy Zelis who was the driving force behind the fundraiser.
