Swim a thon

This is just a reminder that our Summer Swim-a-thon will be on Wednesday June 19th at the H2O Center. This swim-a-thon will run during your swimmer’s usual Wednesday practice time. Coaches will be working with each swimmer in the next few weeks to set goals for this event.

To assist with this fundraiser, swimmers can collect pledge money from family/friends. This is a fun event for the kids to show their endurance and have fun too. All dollar amount collected goes directly towards your fundraising requirements. Collecting funds via cheque/cash as well as donate button on the Ogopogo website is available. Please record all pledges and submit money the day of the swim-a-thon via the mailbox in the front lobby of H20 marked Ogopogo Swim Club.

Volunteers will be needed to help coaches count lengths. Watch for a volunteer sign up email coming soon.

The Community Gaming Grants program distributes $140 million of commercial gambling revenues per year to not-for-profit community organizations throughout the province. Each year, $5 million of that budget is allocated to the Capital Project Program, for capital projects undertaken by not-for-profit organizations that cost between $20,000 and $1.25 million dollars and that provide significant benefit to their communities. Past projects include new buildings, childcare facilities, renovations, new kitchens, playgrounds, vehicles, audio/visual equipment, and equipment for individuals with a disability.
