Swim for Hospice is dedicated to the memory of Marc Holland and is hosted by the Town of Clarkstown. The swim is sponsored by Swim Across America and the event supports United Hospice’s mission and the fight against cancer. The Swim Across America event directly benefits the Children’s Hospital of NY – Presbyterian Medical Center, Research Labs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and UHR.
Swimmers of all ages are welcome to participate. There is a $500 fundraising requirement for adult swimmers and a $250 fundraising requirement for high school students and younger. Swimmers may swim a half mile, 1 mile or form relay teams. Teams of friends and family may join as a group in honor or in memory of a loved one, or just for fun. Each swimmer receives a t-shirt and a towel. Showers and changing facilities are available at Germonds Pool and light refreshments will be provided.
