Some donors will contribute a flat donation amount (e.g. $50) in support of the participant's swim, while others may contribute an amount per lap that the swimmer completes during the event (e.g. $1 per lap).

Donations are collected via an online fundraising platform called 99Pledges. All funds raised (minus any associated credit card processing fees) will go directly to support Asphalt Green’s efforts to provide free swim instruction to local children and families facing financial barriers.
