Dear Maine West
Swimming and Diving Family-
On Saturday,
October 5th Maine West Swimming and Diving will be hosting our 5th
annual Swim
for a Cure Invitational.
We have 8 teams participating this year with over 125 athletes and over
300 fans. The purpose of this meet is three fold, to offer a competitive meet
for our athletes, increase awareness of Breast Cancer, and to raise money for
the American Cancer Society. Over the past 4 years we have raised over $12,000
for the foundation. While the meet is a varsity meet, the meet can’t be
successful without the help of all swimmers, divers and their families. There
are many ways you can help. First and foremost we ask that all athletes attend
the meet and help out. For parents who want to get involved with this event we
ask 2 things- We are looking for 15-20 parents to help out for 2-2.5 hours on
the day of the meet. Attached to this letter you will find a signup sheet.
Please have your daughter return this to a coach by Tuesday October 1st.We are
also asking for each athlete to donate food items for our concession stand. We
would like to ask the following- Freshman – Drinks-a 12 pack of pop, a case of water,
Gatorade, etc. Sophomores- a healthy
snack-individually packaged granola bars, Fruit bars, etc, Juniors- Individual
small bags of chips, pretzels, etc , Seniors-Something sweet like individually
wrapped cookies, deserts, candy, etc. Our concession stand is our
only team fundraiser of the year and helps to offset the cost of equipment,
team gear, etc. Please have all food donations to the pool by Thursday the 3rd
of October. This is a great meet for a really great cause. We will also be
selling T-shirts and a 50/50 raffle. If you have not had a chance to see this
meet in person we would like to invite you to wear as much PINK as possible and come out to
our pool to support our athletes and help to raise awareness of breast cancer.
Thank you in advance for your help and support of our program and this
wonderful cause! If you have any questions please to not hesitate to contact
coach Claus at Rclaus@maine207.org.
