Swim Across America This Weekend
Monday, July 09, 2012
Calling all swimmers....hit the Sound and pools for a great cause this summer.
Swim Across America, Inc., [SAA] is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming- related events. With the help of hundreds of volunteers nationwide and past and current Olympians, SAA is helping find a cure for cancer through athleticism, community outreach and direct service.
2012 will mark the 25th year of Swim Across America. During that time, they have grown from a single event in Nantucket, MA, to dozens of events across the U.S. From New York to California, we are swimming across America. To date, Swim Across America has raised over $40 million for cancer research, prevention and treatment. Our major research beneficiaries- Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC, Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Institute in Chicago, Cancer Support Team of Westchester Country, Children’s Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins and UCSF Children's Hospital in San Francisco - all recognize our funding source as instrumental to their success. Without Swim Across America, much of their research would be left with no monetary support.
Upcoming events include a pool swim at Coveleigh on July 12 and Westchester Country Club on July 14 as well as the Sound swim on July 28. To find a full list of events, click here.
