Hello Redfish families!  We will be hosting our annual fundraiser on Monday, June 20th. This year’s fundraiser will be a Lap-A-Thon style event, with fun, food, music, and of course lots of swimming!  Our fundraiser is a critical part of our budget and helps us to  maintain a strong summer swim program.  Donations from Lap-A-Thon will help fund senior scholarships, help provide end of season awards, help maintain and replace equipment, and more.

Donations: 

• Donations can be made as a flat pledge or per-lap pledge.  
• Electronic donations are preferred and can be submitted here:  averyranchredfish.com/donate
• Cash and checks (made payable to Redfish Swimming) are also accepted.
• If you would like to utilize a corporate matching program, please email [email protected] for more information.
• Redfish Swimming is recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity and can receive tax-deductible donations as allowed by law. Please include an email address to receive a receipt for tax purposes. 

Goals:  We want to bring in donations for our program, of course.  However, just as important, Lap-A-Thon is a great opportunity for kids (and their parents) to really see how much they have grown as swimmers over the season. Swimmers are encouraged to set goals for how many laps they want to try to swim during their allotted time.  Every year, it is exciting to watch as young swimmers meet and exceed their goals!  

Prizes:  All participants will receive a certificate recognizing their total number of laps swum and a special treat from concessions!  Prizes will be awarded (at the end of season celebration) to the boy and girl who swim the most laps in their age group.

Details: 

• Monday, June 20, 2022
