2021 RAYS SWIM-A-THON
We're excited to kick off the Stingrays 2021 Swim-A-Thon! Each year our team steps up and raises money that helps our RAYS swimmers as well as USA swimmers all over the country.
This year's Swim-A-Thon will begin the week of NOVEMBER 1, 2021
Please read and download the Full Swim-A-Thon Information File at the bottom of this article
Here is more information regarding our Swim-A-Thon:
Family Commitment Charge
There will be a mandatory $150 commitment/charge per family
Stingrays Swimming is proud to sponsor and help promote and subsidize USA Swimming programs as well as fund scholarships, travel, water fees, and team equipment costs for Stingrays Swimming. Stingrays Swimming will host the Annual Swim-A-Thon fundraiser in the fall to help achieve these goals. The Online Fundraiser will be active on the website in September, so everyone can start early. The Fundraiser system on our Website offers easy templates for emailing prospects and tracking your donations. Details on the Swim-A-Thon events and prizes will be communicated by the coaches and on the website once the program is finalized and active. (Note that 5% of the proceeds will go to USA Swimming and the remainder will go toward scholarships, travel, and team equipment costs.) The family commitment charge is due December 1st each year.
Although the commitment charge is mandatory, the Swim-A-Thon allows the swimmer’s family to defray costs by raising money that would otherwise have been a direct charge to the swimmer’s family. Alternatively, the funds contributed by the swimmer’s family may be tax-deductible, in part or whole, as a charitable contribution.
Consult your tax professional as Stingrays Swimming is not a tax expert and does not purport to be such.
Should the swimmer’s family elect to pay the $150 charge, said the amount can be divided into two installments of $75 each (December 1st and January 1st). You MUST contact the Billing Department via email by November 15th if you wish for the fee to be split. If a swimmer registers in December, the commitment charge is $100; in January $75; in February 1st $50; in March $25 which is invoiced on the day they register. Email Billing coachian@stingraysswimming.com
This year's Swim-A-Thon will begin the week of NOVEMBER 1 with the format conducted at all our sites, at the discretion of each group's coach.
