To Interested Businesses and/or Individuals:
This is to introduce you to the Southgate
Penguins Swim Team. We are a non-profit
organization which consists of swimmers ages 5-18,
and their parents/guardians. The team's primary
objective is the instruction and training of our
young people to develop and improve their
capabilities in the sport of competitive swimming.
Beyond that, the discipline, training, and
accomplishments the swimmers achieve often last a
lifetime. Our dedicated coaching staff and swimmers
participate in summer league competitions hosted by
various swim clubs and sanctioned by the East Bay
Swimming League, of which Southgate Swim Team is an
active member.
It takes a lot of effort on the part of our
volunteers to run a swim team and they all do a
terrific job. But the reality is, it also takes
money. The registration fees each swimmer's family
pays just barely covers the cost of operations.
This is why we rely on fundraisers and
donations.
There are many ways in which you can help us
keep our team healthy and alive. A cash
contribution to our team is one way. With your
generous contribution we can buy the various
supplies needed to run our meets. Another way would
be to donate items to our snack bar. Each meet we
sell lots of goodies such as donuts, coffee, candy
snacks, sodas, fresh fruit and vegetables,
hot-dogs, hamburgers and a variety of home baked
food items, and we are always looking for new items
to add to our menu. All the money
raised by the snack bar goes to support our
team.
On the following dates this year our Swim team
will host a swim meet at the Southgate Swim Club
located at 24900 Magnolia Street in Hayward:
Saturday, June 21st, from 7:30 AM to
12:30 PM
Saturday, June 28th, from 7:30 AM to 12:30
PM
Saturday, July 12th, from 7:30 AM to 12:30
PM
Saturday, July 19th, from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM
As in past years we expect between 500 and 700
people (200 swimmers plus their families) from
around the East Bay Area to attend each meet. We
are asking you to support the efforts of our young
people by making a donation to our team. Your
support will go a long way in helping your local
swim team defray a portion of the cost of hosting
these meets. At the same time your name and/or
business will receive fine advertising and be known
as a proud supporter of this good community cause.
Please correspond to Darlene Gantz at the address
