Boost Saint Michaels Swim Team's Edge- New Starting Blocks

Since 2010 Saint Michaels College Head Coach Eileen Hall had a dream of purchasing high-end competitive starting blocks for the Purple Knights Natatorium. Yes, wedges and backstroke ledges! Everyone thought it would be impossible to make the dream happen with a price tag of $36,000.

The good news is that over the past two months, an SMC Alumni and SMC Swim Family donated $20,000 to get the project started. Our athletes know the importance having a competitive edge during invitational and championship meets with state-of-the-art starting blocks.

To make this dream come true, we only need to raise $16,000. Let’s work together as a community and help get this done before the start of the 2024-2025 NE-10 Season. Our goal is to order the new blocks on July 1 for delivery on September 1. We ask that you assist us by making a donation from your family, friends, business, and alumni. Every contribution helps!

More good news! A SMC swim parent has agreed to pay the Go Fund Me fees for this campaign, so that 100% of your donation will go towards the project.

If you, your business, or family would like to purchase a starting block for Saint Michaels College, kindly pledge $5,500. A plaque will be placed on the wedge prior to the start of the season in appreciation of your donation. If you have questions about this, please reach out to Dr. Kane at [phone redacted] or Roni Goldleaf Daily at [phone redacted].

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY FOR 2024-2025!
