We are so proud to be able to partner with Camp UPeninsulin and support their incredible mission to provide a safe and fun summer camp experience for children in the U.P. who are living with Type 1 diabetes. All proceeds from the event go directly towards Camp. We’re also proud to partner with the West End Health Foundation who matches all swimmer donations up to $10,000. Thanks to our outstanding swimmers and volunteers we were able to raise over $10,000 in donations at this year’s event!!!
