Please Help Me Raise $200 for the 2009 Swim-a-thon

Current Amount Raised...$155

Please consider sponsoring C to help raise money for the Carteret Currents (http://www.carteretcurrents.com/) swimming activities which include local and national programs. C's goal is to raise $200 for this year's swim-a-thon.

There are thousands of Americans of all ages engaged in swimming. USA Swimming (http://www.usaswimming.org/) offers programs for beginners, Olympians and everyone in between.

USA Swimming is dedicated to further development of the sport. Their three core objectives are:

Build the base
Promote the sport
Achieve competitive success

95% of the funds collected are retained by C's team to help finance their swimming program, while 5% is sent back to USA Swimming to defray expenses and to support other grass roots programming.

Each swimmer is limited to a MAX OF ONE CONTINUOUS TWO-HOUR PERIOD in the water or a MAX OF 200 LENGTHS OF THE POOL, whichever comes first. This distance represents approximately three miles. We are very proud to announce that C completed 58 laps (1,450 meters) which is over 3/4 of a mile for his first year participating in the swim-a-thon!

A portion of your donation to USA Swimming is tax deductible. Check with your tax advisor for tax implications.

Monies are due to the Carteret Currents by Friday June 5th. Therefore, we would be grateful if you'd reply back to this e-mail with your intention of a donation and then send a check afterward (mom will write one check for the total amount to the Carteret Currents).
Your financial support will support the Carteret Currents and athletes.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION!!
