Synchrothon 2011
The Synchrothon 2011 was October 15 from 3-6pm at the Redmond Pool. The Synchrothon is the first of two main fundraisers Seattle Synchro hosts each year. Swimmers complete laps and reach distances to raise money for the Seattle Synchro Booster Club. Proceeds from this fundraiser are used to fund new team suits, sound equipment, team travel expenses, social events for swimmers, and other operating costs for Seattle Synchro. 
The overall team goal is to raise $4,800. All swimmers at Seattle Synchro will participate in helping raise funds and swim laps. You can donate to this event by:
1. Sending the attached letter with your donation to the following address:
Seattle Synchro Booster Club
9805 NE 116th Street, #7357
Kirkland, WA 98034
2. Or, by donating online through our “Donations” link at http://seattlesynchro.com

Special thanks to Eva Gonzalez for organizing us for this event, Svea Dagel for creating the swimmer certificates and organizing snacks, Wendy Strand for helping prepare and deliver snacks, Jerry Chungbin for being our announcer, and all the parents that counted laps, and our swimmers for working hard to help raise funds.

Increase you Donation with Corporate Non-Profit Programs: Did you know the Booster Club is a non-profit organization, also known as a 501(c)(3), and eligible for company monetary matches and volunteer hour donations? That means if you work for or retire from Boeing, for instance, and donate money for the Synchrothon, the company will match part or the entire donation. Volunteer hours are also rewarded by some companies, where a certain amount of time volunteered can be turned into a donation for the Booster Club. Take advantage of these great corporate programs to help us achieve our fundraising goal! Follow the Boeing and Microsoft links, but there are similar programs at many companies.
All donations received go towards helping the team purchase new suits, sound equipment, coaches travel/training, coaches certifications, scholarships, and other team related expenses. Please email treasurer@seattlesynchro.com with questions.
Thank you all in advance for your interest and support.
