SWIM CHALLENGE COMPLETE!
Cheers to the swim team and the amazing volunteers! Apart from the slight lightning interruption on Thursday, the swim team swam continuously, attempting to max out the number of laps.
Our thanks go to everyone who made this fundraiser possible.
Thank you Tanah Merah Country Club for the beautiful venue and extending the swim time for us, allowing us to raise more funds!
A very special mention to the kind-hearted soul who helped secure the venue for the swim, who then went way further and proposed the swim team a challenge: FOR EVERY LAP WE SWIM, HE WOULD DONATE A DOLLAR! An amazing gesture! We’d also like to thank him for providing a wide variety of food to fuel our swim. We were so incredibly motivated and swam our lungs out!
In total, the team completed 1218 laps, covering over 60.9km! Which means that they raised $1218 dollars! This will be added on to the amount pledged through our main fundraiser page at http://simplygiving.com/sportsforanimals which will be up and running until next Monday. Please do continue to show your support and pledge what you can towards our efforts to end animal cruelty.
Cheers to the swim team ACRES staff members Louis, Charlene, Naomi, Isabelle and Lionel; our interns Jia Jie and Kai yu; and our volunteer swimmers Kenneth and Priscilla. Especially to Lionel and Priscilla, who completed both the climb and swim challenge!
We would also like to thank the ‘counter’ team: Ophelia, Pearlyn, Devina and Leon. They had their eyes fixed on the swimmers the whole time and got burned by the sun after sitting by the pool for hours! Thank you for your time and effort!
