Then join us for a festive post-swim lunch at Aidan’s Pub, where we’ll announce the winner of the total yardage betting pool.
Thank you to the SwimRI members and others who supported Rhode Island’s charity swims last summer, including the Narrow River Turnaround (watershed preservation), the Waterman Eco-Challenge (educational arts scholarship), the Save The Bay Swim (watershed preservation), and the Swim Across America – Rhode Island Charity Swim (cancer research grants).
SwimRI’s fundraising teams raised ~$43K for Save The Bay and ~$20K for cancer research at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. Special thanks to SwimRI’s SAA-RI volunteers, especially Elizabeth Beisel for emceeing this year’s event and continuing to share her family’s story.
