Lap-a-thon
Our Lap-a-thon has to be rescheduled
 
Monday's Practice for September 8th will be at Heritage Park,
 
 
We will push our lap-a-thon out a couple of weeks, More details will be posted here on our website and in our email newsletter. 
 
 
The Lap-a-thon is our primary fund raising event. This fund raiser helps us keep our price low, allows us to offer scholarships, and assist our athletes in national competition.
 
 
We ask every family to seek pledges either by a flat rate or per lap donation, The athletes run for 1 hour, later they return to their donors to collect their pledges (if based on a per lap donation). and turn in the funds by the dead line.
 
 
We award a  grand prize of Disneyland/California Adventure Park Hopper tickets to the athlete who raises the most funds.  Every athlete who raises $40.00 will also win a lap-a-thon prize.
 
 
The dead line to be eligible for the grand prize is October 7th. Athletes who raise $40.00 or more will still be eligible to win a lap-a-thon prize even if they turn in the funds after October 7th.
 
 
Song Requests: We are taking requests. If you have a song you want to hear during the lap-a-thon, please let me an email so I can make sure I have it, * We may not be able to get to all songs requested.
