Lapapalooza Information!

Benicia Stingrays

What?  

  • Lapapalooza is our biggest fundraiser of the year. 
  • Athletes swim as many laps as they can for one hour to earn their pledges from their friends and family.  
  • Thanks to generous support from PG&E, all pledges up to $5,000 for the team, will be matched.  To get the PG&E matching, all donations must be input through this donation website.  All pledges this year are a flat donation (not a per lap donation as in years past).  Here are the complete donation instructions.  Note that the links and buttons on this pdf are not clickable, but using your phone, the qr code will take you to the appropriate donation website. The links in this email will also take you to the appropriate donation website.
  • Please follow the donation instructions carefully or your swimmer will not get prize credit for their pledges.  The swimmer's name MUST be noted on the donation platform for them to receive credit! 
  • Make sure to "commit" to participate in Lapapalooza, just as you would for a normal swim meet!  Visit the Events and Meets tab on our website to commit.  Additionally, share our donation website with friends, families, and whoever else may want to donate to your swimmer!  
  • Donuts, drinks, and fruit will be provided!

  • Earn FUN PRIZES!  Show your swimmer this prize sheet to motivate them!  Fill out this prize redemption form and turn it into the black mailbox attached to the Family Folder Cart by July 3rd to claim your prizes!  It will take a couple of weeks to order and then deliver your prizes.
  • Impress everyone with how many laps you can swim!!!   Most laps swum = a fun prize!!!  It's always fun to swim and eat donuts!!!  This is more fun than regular practice!  

 

Volunteers--Do you need to fulfill one of your two required social volunteer jobs????
