Swim for the girls

Swim for the Girls is a fundraiser event where boys wear a girl’s bathing suit during the breaststroke race. Run annually since 2013, this fun way of encouraging kids to support local charities has lead to a huge impact for Breathing Room and our recipients. After dropping off a check from this year’s event for $5,300, they have raised more than TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS for BRF since 2013! We are so grateful to the parents, coaches, athletes, and supporters who have such fun and celebrate BRF in such a creative way. The impact of their generosity is beyond words. Thank you to all who support SWIM FOR THE GIRLS and their support of BRF!
