Rivercrest Riptide Swim Team Social Events – Summer 2010 Mark Your Calendars and Plan to Attend!
Friday, June 25th - SWIM FOR SIERRA LEONE Riptide will be doing a swim-a-thon this summer to support a cause that Coach Flor holds very dear, the Child Rescue Center (CRC). Caring for children affected by the violent civil war and poverty in Bo, Sierra Leone, the CRC "provides safety and hope to nearly 250 children who have been rescued from desperate situations." Coach Flor has been to the region to work with the children of the CRC, and photos of her trip can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/10569618. For more information on the CRC, see http://www.helpingchildrenworldwide.org/our-work/child-rescue-centre/. The swim-a-thon will be held on Friday, June 25th during practice. The children will first be asked to collect pledges, either lump-sum or per lap, from sponsors. Then each swimmer (or swimmers from one family) will swim as many laps as possible during practice. It is a great endurance exercise for the kids, and it also will be a lot of fun! We realize summer is a busy time, but we very much appreciate any contribution your child(ren) can make. As most of you know, Sierra Leone is one of the poorest nations on earth. What a tremendous opportunity for our children, who by comparison have so much, to be able to help children in true need. It’s a contribution a child can be proud of. Brochures and pledge envelopes can be picked up at practice this week. If your children choose to participate as a family, you need only pick up one brochure and one envelope.
