Swim For The Border

Consider this Queridos Amigos...

Barbara and I are preparing to repeat our efforts to raise money for children living in poverty in the border town of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.

That's right, SWIM FOR THE BORDER 2011!

Last year we swam 100 kilometers over five weeks and with your support over $5000 was donated to buy educational materials to support the preschoolers attending Mamá Margarita Daycare Center, located in the barrio of Flores-Magon.

 This year we are raising money for DEIJUVEN, an organization that provides quality after school care to 500 children living in extreme poverty in Nogales, Sonora.

We want you to join us! 

Swim, walk, run, cycle, jazzercise and zumba your way to the border!

How does it work?

 

• Choose your preferred activity (swim, walk, run, bike, jazzercise, zumba, etc).
• The fun starts March 9 and goes through April 24.
• Ask your nearest and dearest to sponsor your efforts, and by all means, sponsor yourself and others (please)! 
• Work out with purpose, hold the children in your heart during your workouts.
• Give one hour a day for 40 days (7 hours a week).

Or team up and tackle the challenge together.

 
If you can't commit to the 40 days, what about a one day extravaganza with friends?
 

Donations are tax deductible to Santa Cruz Community Foundation, and can be made online, by mail or phone.

 

Barbara and Anne will provide informational brochures to share with your sponsors, SWIM FOR THE BORDER personalized thank you cards and lots of love and support!

This invitation is for all people of all faiths, including vegan.
