Beaver Lake Dam Site
We are so excited to have Highlands Oncology Group join us as our Presenting Sponsor for the Charity Swim. This event gives our swimmers the choice of doing multiple miles individually or with a team to participate as a relay (1 mile at a time). Swimming for a cause is an excellent way to experience Beaver Lake. Participants can choose from one of three (or all three) charities that we have partnered with. 45% of all registration fees will go directly to our philanthropic partners listed below.
When you register for the Charity Swim, participants can set up their fundraising page.
