Hawg-A-Thon / Distance Day
The 2024 Hawg-A-Thon fundraiser is Razorback Aquatic Club’s largest fundraiser every year. RAC AquaHawgs is a 501(C)(3) organization, and we are committed to providing swimming opportunities to people of all ages in Northwest Arkansas. From last year's fundraiser, we were able to sponsor 87 swimmers in our swim lessons, summer league, and competitive team. We are also able to purchase a good amount of dryland equipment. Please take a moment to share this postcard with your friends and family who might be interested in supporting Razorback Aquatic Club’s mission. We appreciate everyone’s support in this fundraiser.
This week, we will announce a small prize winner. The swimmer that has raised the most by the end of the day on Wednesday will receive two tickets to a Razorback Men’s Basketball game. They will be able to choose from one of three games (North Carolina A&T, Oakland University, or Mississippi State).
