Do It Together, Wet or Dry
Form a Swim or Stride team to support local kids with
diabetes! Teams competing against each other are even better
— at your school, church, or business. If you already swim
on a team, your team can complete your swim at your own
pool, when it works for you! Striding is even easier — bring
your team to the UT Rec Center on February 23 and walk
together! Or just come to the UT Rec Center for family fun!
Get Sponsors and Collect Pledges!
Tips are available at the DYS office or click here to get them online.
Sponsors can even donate in your name
online! Every dollar raised helps provide services for children
you know who are challenged by diabetes every day. Turn in
money at UT on February 23 (preferred) or by mail before March 31 to qualify for camp credit. Make checks payable to Diabetes Youth Services. Do not mail cash!
Sample Family Letters
Below are a couple of sample family letters to send to family, friends, etc., to help spread the word and help get donations/pledges for the Swim & Stride for Diabetes:

Sell Starfish
Sell starfish at school, work, and local
businesses. Donors show their support
for DYS by purchasing paper starfish for
$1 and displaying them for all to see.
Contact DYS at 419-480-1796 to get started.
This year, starfish sales earn credit toward
paying for camp.
Swim & Stride on Your Own
If it’s easier, collect pledges and swim or stride at a local facility at your convenience. Pledges are due to DYS by March 31, 2008.
Earn Camp Credit
Earn Camp Credit Based on the amount of money you raise, DYS will award you Camp Credit that will be applied toward your camp fee.
GET YOUR SCHOOL OR SWIM TEAM INVOLVED
Supported by the University of Toledo Swimming Team doing their Swim Jan. 17th
For Your School...
Get your whole school involved in raising money for DYS by selling starfish. Your class could earn a cool pizza party if they collect the most donations for DYS. Each person who donates - whether its $1 or $1000 - gets a bright yellow starfish to display proudly in support of DYS! Call the DYS office for details!
For Your Swim Team...
You can earn money for DYS swimming your practice laps. Get your whole team involved! All you have to do is get your family and friends to sponsor your laps - either with a lump sum or per lap. Once you get their commitment, jump in and rack up those laps! As a special reward, the UT swim team (who by the way is already on board earning money for DYS swimming their practice laps) will be signing caps to award to the swimmers who raise the most money for DYS! Call the DYS office for details.
Volunteers
You can still get pledges or help at the the UT Recreation Center, Selling Starfish, or even before the event for a wonderful
cause for kids here at home, without getting wet! Please contact the office by email info@dys4kids.org or phone (419) 480-1796 to volunteer.
