Van Laskos Swim-a-thon
Morristown High School
Swim-a-Thon
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
3pm-5pm
This year’s Swim-a-Thon will take place on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 3pm at Morristown High School. The money raised will be placed in the Van Laskos Memorial Scholarship Fund.
For those of you who did not know Van, he was a member of our swim team. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocyte Leukemia in July of 2003 at the age of 16. Van was a remarkable young man who inspired all of us who knew him to embrace the challenges that life places before us. He was a dedicated selfless swimmer with compassion and respect for his fellow team members. He lost his battle on March 12, 2005.
The honor of this scholarship will be awarded to a senior swim team member who best embodies Van’s spirit and qualities.
Each swimmer will receive a pledge sheet and are asked to get donations from family, businesses or neighbors prior to swimming. Swimmers will either get pledges and money prior to swimming or following the swim-a-thon. Checks are to be made out to: Morristown High School Swim Team Boosters (please write Van Laskos in the ‘memo’ area on your check).
Swimmers will have two hours to swim their laps with a maximum of 200 laps.
Please come out and support your children that day. Everyone has a wonderful time. If you need any additional information, please contact: Donna Gelegonya, MHS Swim Team Coach at 973-292-2000 X 2156.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
