The 1st Annual BKHY Swim a Thon

Swim a Thon Fundraiser
The Hilliker YMCA has organized a swimathon for Saturday, February 23rd.

Monies raised from our Columbus swimmers will stay in Columbus
and will help us get more coaches to meets and practices.

The site that raises the most money per swimmer
will earn a pizza party!
Also, there will be GREAT prizes
for the top 3 fundraisers!

- A PORTABLE DVD PLAYER
plus other great prizes

The Hilliker YMCA
has decided to include a community service project
with this fundraiser and will donate a portion
of our money raised to the
Spina Bifida Foundation
(yea! This is a group that benefits our own Amber Salsburey)!!

All we have to do is raise a minimum of $1 for every lap that you swim. Every swimmer will swim 1 mile, which equals 72 laps.

$1.00 (min) x 72 Laps = $72 (min per swimmer)

LET'S SEE WHO CAN RAISE
THE MOST MONEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE :)
