Our swimming program's success in St. Lawrence County was built on a foundation of strategic resource mobilization, effective processes, and impactful outcomes. DUring 2024, We secured a total of $26,900 in funding from various sources, including a $2,700 LEAD Impact Grant from the northren New York community foundation, an $18,000 fundraising effort through a Swim-a-Thon and special events, and additional grants from the USA Swimming Foundation ($4,500), Stewart’s Holiday Match ($1,200), and Walmart Local Grant ($500). This financial support enabled us to reach a wide demographic of financially disadvantaged youth, providing them with essential swimming skills and water safety education.
