SWIM-A-THON Team and 35 Participants raised $1,700!
Well, it may have been a "dreary" day to some due to weather - but it was a bright, sun-shiny day for all the children at the pool the morning of August 21.!
35 children came together and swam 17, 3 00 yards total -- which is 10.5 miles together - The Pride Park Swim-a-thon Team and 35 Participants raised $1,700. The participants worked hard. We thank them and their sponsors! The youngest swimmer was at 3.5 years old and the oldest at 51.
Thank you to Lori and David Corcoran for being "captains" on the event - you deserve a BIG, BIG hand - especially for your love of the sport - all of your coordinating, scheduling, expertise, dedication, enthusiasm, and hands-on hard work!
And of course, to ALL Pride Park Swim-a-thon volunteers - YOUR dedication, great ideas, support, hard work, and participation before-hand as well as during the event was incredible.
Thank you to our sponsors: Central Street Market, Cathy Cranston (for donating the hotdog rolls), Underwater Pool, Surfside Pool, Frito Lay, Wachusett Country Club, Parks and Rec. Department, and Polar Beverages.
It was a beautiful day. Thank you to all for making it a big success - not only for the park, but as a positive experience in the lives of the children.
As I overheard one 7 year old say: " But I want to do it again, can I do it again?" That sure does sum it up.
