Swim-a-thon Update

no_email@example.com (Rob)

Parents,

Our swim-a-thon was held on June 23rd. I know many people were not able to come as the weather would not cooperate. However, you can still make a tax-deductible charitable donation to Dayton Children's Medical Center through the team. We chose Dayton Children's to honor Ally Barnett who joined the team last year and was diagnosed with Leukemia. You can follow her story on www.all4ally.blogspot.com She remains a honorary member of our team. Dayton Children's also supports all the children in our community.

To date, we have received only 17 pledge forms out of a team of almost 200. Please remember to get your pledge forms turned in. Melisa will accept them through Thursday, July 8th to give everyone more time. Last year the team donated over $1900.

Thank you for your support,

Rob

2010 Idle Hour Swim-A-Thon

no_email@example.com (Rob)

Idle Hour Swim Team held its annual Swim-a-thon on June 23rd. This is an annual tradition for the team and the kids have done an amazing job in years past raising money. Our beneficiary this year is Dayton Children'sHospital in honor of Ally Barnett. For those of you who are new to the team, Ally joined the team last year and then a few weeks later was diagnosed with Leukemia. She remains a honorary member of our team.

Pledge Forms have been sent out via e-mail and extras are available at the pool. We are extending the deadline for Pledge Forms to JULY 1st. Please turn them in to Rob & Melisa Dotson. Once we have all forms then we will update you on the number of laps and amount of money that was raised.

Let's show our Sailfish Pride and help support Ally and Dayton Children's in their fight against cancer.

Regards,

Rob
