High School Team To Swim For Good Cause

OK, this is totally self-promotional, but we are so thrilled that a local high school swim team is going to be raising funds for the YAI Network.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- The Horace Greeley boys varsity swim team is all about giving back to the community.
On March 9, the Quakers will host a swim-a-thon from 5 to 6 p.m. at SUNY Purchase in an effort to help raise money for the YAI Network.
YAI was established in 1957 and serves more than 20,000 people with disabilities, as well as their families, through more than 450 programs and services.
At this year's swim-a-thon, the team is hoping to raise about $5,000 for YAI.
The boys varsity team will not be alone in its efforts.
The boys have extended an invitation to the girls varsity swim team to help increase their chances of meeting their goal, and also to gain more sponsors.
Meg Kaplan, coach of the Greeley boys swim team, has worked with YAI for the past 21 years, and the team wanted to show its appreciation for everything she has done.
