Welcome Deep River Candu Parents to Swim-A-Thon 2016
On behalf of the Candu Executive and coaching staff we are excited to announce our Swim-A-Thon campaign for this year.
It
has been an incredibly exciting year for us! With an extensive pool
renovation
complete, we have started session three with an essentially
brand new pool!
Our
club this year has a goal to raise $5000 and we will put this money
towards purchasing the racing blocks that adorn our newly renovated
pool. We have just about reached their price tag $18,000 and then we
need save for a new lane reel which is ~ $4000.
Our Swim-A-Thon will involve all swimmers who have been or are currently registered with the Candu during the 2015-2016 season. It will be held on 28 May 2016 at the Deep River pool.
Our club will be fundraising using Swim Canada’s online fundraising
program. We encourage parents to go online and assist your child with
registration. This year, the family affidavit is part of the online
registration. The fundraising campaign starts when you receive this
e-mail. If you have more than one swimmer in your family you may
register them all under your family’s surname.
Please go to our club link at www.ontarioswimathon.ca/drc and
register your swimmer and start spreading the word to family, friends,
business colleagues, social contacts, and anyone else that supports
swimming in the community!
Please
show your support! We are unbelievably fortunate to have a pool in
Deep River! Please help us provide the best resources, coaching, and
programs that we can by helping raise money that will support our
non-profit swimming program.
Unfortunately, this year Swimming Canada has modified the rules around eligibility for receipts. Under no circumstance is a Parent/Legal Guardian or Parent’s company eligible for a charitable tax receipt. This includes making donations to other children in the Candu club.
