Old Bill's - We appreciate your support!

JH Stingrays swim families and supporters,

This year’s Old Bill’s giving season kicked off on August 1.  The Old Bill’s fundraising event has always been an important part of the JH Stingrays budget.  It gives our organization the shot the arm it needs to pay coaches, pay Teton County Rec Center lane fees that are ever increasing, reimburse coaches for travel to meets, and keep the team’s gear and equipment updated.  These funds are also used to offset practice fees for qualifying families and keep the practice fees reasonable for the rest of our swimmers. 

This year’s fundraising event is more important than ever.  Since COVID-19, we have been unable to hold practice and have not charged any practice fees.  Our coaches, however, remain active preparing for a return to practice and planning other fun alternative events, like our “Swim-the-Snake” summer fitness challenge.  When we are able to return to the pool, we anticipate that we may be limited too in the number of swimmers allowed to practice, which means less income to offset increasing costs. 

The JH Stingrays will emerge from these trying times stronger than ever with the support of friends like you.  Please consider the JH Stingrays during this Old Bill’s giving season!  If you would like to donate, please click here.

Goooooooooooooooooo Stingrays!
