QUAC Gives Back!
Century Swim 2020
Our 2020 Century Swim is on Wednesday, January 1 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at the Fairmont Aquatic Center. This year QUAC will be swimming to benefit The Val Mansfield Memorial Fund. Swimmers will set a goal to swim 100 repetitions of a distance: 25 yards, 50 yards or 100 yards! Please sponsor them for a fixed amount or for an amount per 25 yards swam. For example, if your swimmer sets the goal of 100 x 25 yards and you sponsor them 25 cents for every 25 yards swam, your total sponsorship would end up being $25.00
Please contribute by sponsoring a QUAC swimmer. Simply fill out the form on this page. An invoice will be emailed to you after the event is completed and you can pay online or mail in a check.*** About The Val Mansfield Memorial Fund The Val Mansfield Memorial Fund was established in 2015 in honor of our dear friend and longtime QUAC member Val Mansfield. At the time of his passing, Val was serving as a QUAC board member. He used his talents to help promote the club through our Duck Digest and also designed one of our popular QUAC calendars. Val loved swimming, and he was one of QUAC's most consistent participants in the annual IGLA Championships or Gay Games. Thanks to a generous contribution from his family, we established a fund in Val's honor to help other athletes participate in these events he cherished. Your contributions will support swimmers who will be traveling to Melbourne this February to represent Salt Lake City at the IGLA Championships. Not only will these athletes participate in some amazing aquatics competitions, but they will also help promote SLC as we prepare to host the IGLA Championships in 2021. Thank you so much for supporting our fundraising efforts during the 2020 Century Swim. If you would like to offer help by joining an IGLA 2021 committee, visit this link and fill out the form.
