FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES:
The FHSTBC's major fundraising activity is hosting Champs, but there are a few others, including the Dixie Dunker at Forest Hills Community Day on the Fourth of July and the 50/50 at home meets. Any others to be determined.
OTHER EVENTS COORDINATED BY FHSTBC:
Pizza Party: The annual pizza party for the FHST swimmers and their families will be held at the Forest Hills Pool at the conclusion of our first HOME meet on Tuesday, June 17 from 8:00-10:00 PM. There is no charge for the party. We will have our parent meeting at this event too.
Picture Day: The FHST will take its annual group picture at the pool on Friday, June 20. Please wear your team suit for the team picture. There is no practice on this day. Swimmers will also have the opportunity to have an individual picture taken starting at 10:00 AM. The team picture will be taken promptly at 11:00 AM. This will be the only “TEAM” picture taken! Make it a point to be part of our swim team history!
Movie Day: The FHST will have Movie Day on Friday, June 20 and will see the TBD movie. Parents provide transportation and supervision as needed.
Community Day: The FHST contribution to Forest Hills’ Community Day is an important and increasingly popular part of our community’s Fourth of July Celebration. Team members and parents are asked to participate in one of the following events planned for the Fourth of July Community Day held this year on Friday, July 4.
Annual Biathlon: The WHHS swimming pool is the start of the biathlon. Ten (10) volunteers are needed to act as timers and lane counters the morning of Community Day.
Dixie Dunker: Although the Borough sets up the dunk tank and swimmers line up for the opportunity to be the target of a water dunk, adult volunteers are needed to collect the money, to retrieve the thrown balls, and to reset the dunker seat after a splash-in. The Dixie Dunker operates from Noon-3:00 PM on Community Day and usually requires three (3) volunteers per hour. The money collected during this event goes to the swim team. Only members of the FHST are allowed to participate!
Senior Recognition: The team plans to recognize any FHST high school seniors who graduated in 2025 at a home meet in July. Exact date TBD.
Swim Team Banquet and Championship Party: As the final event of the FHST season, the team banquet and party will be held at the pool lodge on Saturday, July 26 (the evening of the Championship meet). At the banquet each team member will receive his/her team gift. In addition, recipients of the four annual awards (Gabella, Clougherty, Foley and Manns) will be recognized. We will also enjoy the team’s annual slide show. Details will be announced later but we do need volunteers to help organize this special event for our swimmers.
