Hello Piranhas!

Announcing our 2nd annual Piranha-thon!

On Tuesday, June 11, the Parklawn Piranhas will hold our second Piranha-thon team fundraiser during normal practice times. At this special practice, every swimmer will complete as many laps (1 lap= 25m) as they can while you, their families and friends, will pledge to support them for each lap completed.

Money raised from the Piranha-thon will be used for team expenses such as the team banquet, team events, pep rallies, swim equipment, and more.

Time to start finding pledges! Through June 11, ask family, friends, and loved ones if they are willing to pledge and how much they are willing to donate per lap. Use this form to record and keep track of each pledge, and please share this form with anyone else who wants to support your Piranha.

Since this is a Piranha-thon and not just a normal practice, there will be prizes! We will be celebrating the swimmers (per each age group) with the most pledges fulfilled, the most laps, as well as the most improved over last year. There will be a total of 3 prizes per age group. There will also be a special prize for the Girl and Boy that raise the most in donations through the Piranha-thon.

In addition to these prizes, there will be cold treats on Piranha-thon day at practice, plus we have it on good authority that our team announcer will recognize Piranha-thon achievements throughout the season, highlighting the swimmers’ accomplishments!

Let’s go Piranhas!

PS: Our goal is to have every Piranha participate as a fundraiser and as a competitor. Swimmers of all ages and skill levels will amaze themselves with how far they can swim, and it’s all for a great cause!
