Sponsored Athlete Program

Our Sponsored Athlete Program

A Long Swim sponsors athletes participating in a variety of events including, open water swims, marathons, triathlons and Ironmans. Because of the individuality of each event, our program is custom-tailored to each Participant.

Each Participant will receive a custom, personalized fundraising site to facilitate online donations and reflect their own relationship with ALS and the A Long Swim organization. Fundraising will primarily be done using that website, social media, email marketing, and face-to-face solicitations. View our Sponsored Athlete Program HERE.

By joining our Sponsored Athlete Program, A Long Swim provides each participant with:

  • Paid entrance fee to your event, up to $300
  • A Long Swim branded gear, specific to your sports.
  • Fundraising tools and support to reach your goal
    o Access to A Long Swim’s Sponsored Athlete coordinator, Kate Himes

  • Additional incentives provided at thresholds over $1,500.

*Each Participant is required to raise a minimum of $1,500, prior to their event. If this goal is not met through fundraising, the Participant will be personally responsible for the balance owed. A Long Swim reserves the right to charge the balance owed to the Participant’s credit card.
