Sample Swimmer Donation Solicitation
SUBJECT: Help Me Swim For Great Causes!
Dear [Name],
I’m excited to share that I’m participating in a Swimathon event on June 26 to raise funds for my swim team called the Homestead Hurricanes, and Make-A-Wish Colorado. I hope to swim as many laps as I can to raise money to support our swim team and also to help grant more life-changing wishes for kids with critical illnesses, one lap at a time!
Would you please donate to help me? You can choose to make a flat donation or pledge an amount per lap I swim. My goal is to swim [Lap Goal] laps in one hour!
To make a flat donation, simply visit my fundraising page at [Personal URL] to donate to Make-a-Wish, and to donate to the Homestead Hurricanes please go to https://homesteadhurricanes.swimtopia.com/fundraising. If you’d like to pledge an amount per lap, I’ll follow up with you after the event to let you know how many laps I complete.
Thank you for your generosity!
