Making Waves for United Way: September 13-17

The IU Natatorium will hold our 3rd annual 'Making Waves for United Way' fundraiser. From Sept 13-17, any visiting lap swimmer may make a $2 donation to United Way, in lieu of using a punch on their Lap Swim Pass. This will save money on lap swimming and raise funds for a great cause! Plus, each time a person donates, their name will be entered into a drawing for a 40-visit Lap Swim Pass. At the end of the fundraiser, one winning name will be drawn for this prize. The more you visit, the more money the Natatorium will raise, and the better your chances to win!
