SWIM FOR BRANDON: Wednesday July 8th
SWIM FOR BRANDON: Our 15th annual fundraiser will take place on Wednesday, July 8h, during regular practice.
Summary: Swimmers can seek donations using the 2026 Swim for Brandon Donations link, then swim as many laps as they can during practice, and stay for team breakfast.
Why we fundraise: Help keep our registration fees low by offsetting team expenses!
Funds raised in 2025 provided 4 summer swim scholarships, 20 new practice kickboards, team printer for meets, Junior coach support, and our graduating senior award.
Goal for 2026: Funding for scholarships, junior coaches, and a semi-automatic timing system!
Parent support:
Please share our fundraising link/QR code or attached flyer with friends, family and employers to help support our 2026 Swim for Brandon Donations. We will also accept checks made out to Hempfield Stingrays with Brandon on the memo line.
Thank you to all of the parents who have already signed up to count laps or donate breakfast supplies! Please make sure you bring your supplies to practice by 8:15 on the 8th.
History: Brandon Lehr was a member of the Hempfield Stingrays Swim Team for 11 years and also coached the team for 3 years. Brandon’s parents started the Brandon Lehr Fund in Brandon’s memory to support our team. The Brandon Lehr Fund assists with registration fees for families in need, as well as covers the cost of items that help our team (i.e., team equipment, computer, and swim meet software). Swimmers will “Swim for Brandon” by swimming as many laps as they can/wish in 45 minutes. Sponsors can support swimmers per lap (e.g., 50 cents/lap) or make a flat donation using the paypal link or writing a check to the team with Brandon on the memo line.
