The 2nd Annual
Wil Brady Memorial
Swim-a-Thon 2010
During the 2008-2009 winter season, the Fallston Fins Swim Team lost a member of our family in a tragic car accident. Wilson Brady, known as Wil to friends and family, was a fantastic, loveable eight-year old who always had a smile on his face and had an inherent talent for the sport of swimming. He was always on the side of the pool cheering on his teammates and even taught his younger brother Ian how to yell for the Fins.
Beginning in the 2009 season, the coaches planned a Swim-a-Thon to honor Wil and remember his name. On Tuesday, July 20th we will again hold this fundraiser to benefit the Katie and Wil Memorial Foundation, Inc. The foundation was established to remember Wil and his mom Katie who also perished in the accident.
The goal of the Swim-a-Thon is for team members to recruit personal sponsors. Each age group will have an allotted hour where each child can challenge themselves individually to swim the most number of laps possible. Breakfast will be provided for the swimmers after their hour is complete. It would be great to see as many swimmers come out in the morning and cheer for the other age groups as possible, keeping with the spirit of Wil and his family.
As a team, our goal is for each swimmer to raise at least $30 with a total team goal of $5000! Flat donations are gladly accepted for those who are unable to participate in the actual event.
In addition to the Swim-a-Thon, the proceeds from the July 20th bingo will also go to the foundation. We are encouraging all swim team families and friends of the Fins to attend this night of fun and finish our fundraising with a bang!
Please motivate swimmers to reach out to family, friends, neighbors, or local businesses that might like to sponsor them in the Swim-a-Thon. We need to pull our resources together as a team to make the fundraiser as successful as possible!
