As we begin to embark on a new diving season, it is time for our biggest fundraiser of the year: the 2nd Annual YCF Dive-A-Thon.  This year the event will take place on Sunday, December 4th from 10-2.  Following the dive-a-thon we will having a potluck lunch for all divers and families.  Last year this was a great event that raised our team over $6000!!  This year I am aiming higher with a goal of raising $7000.

    For those of you who are new team our team the dive-a-thon is a fundraiser event for every diver on the team.  Divers receive pledges per dive (i.e. 10 cents per dive) with a goal of performing 100 dives during the designated 2 hours.  Divers are allowed to perform any dives they wish, off of any height!  It really is a fun event for the all divers which is capped off with a potluck lunch for all the divers and families.  Better yet, the parents are invited to join in on the diving fun!  I will be holding a 30 mintue adult clinic for all the parents to experience a day in the life of their diver.   It is sure to be a blast!
    Please carefully read through the attached information which explains more about the dive-a-thon, how to get pledges and includes a pledge recording sheet.  This event is mandatory for all junior olympic divers yet would like the lesson divers to also be part of this great event.  This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it is a great event for all the divers and their families so please plan on attending.
If anyone has any questions regarding this event please let me know.
 I LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT 2011 DIVE A THON!
