SharkFest 2024

Shouse Village Pool

About

What is SharkFest?

SharkFest is a charity event featuring lap-swimming, food, and a silent auction to raise money for charity.

How does it work?

Participants raise money through sponsors in two ways: Flat donations and per-lap donations. A flat donation is when a single sum is promised to be donated, and a per-lap donation is an amount to be donated per lap the participant swims. At the end of the event, lap totals are submitted and donations are calculated.

How do I get involved?

There are many ways to get involved in SharkFest! We strongly encourage everyone to stop by the event from 4-8 pm on June 30th to meet with neighbors, grab dinner at the Sharkbite Cafe (proceeds go to SharkFest!), and swim laps! If you are not able to attend, we would still encourage you to get involved by collecting flat donations, bidding on the silent auction, or spreading the word about our event!

Silent Auction

In addition to the swim team silent auction, we have added an online silent auction geared towards the adults in the neighborhood. It is limited to pickup by Shouse residents only.

Silent Auction

There are TWO types of silent auction this year!

Raffle

Swimmers earn raffle tickets based on the amount of laps they swim! Raffle tickets can be picked up and deposited after laps are completed. Swimmers MUST be present at the pep rally on 7/5 to receive their prize

We hope everyone joins us on June 30th!

Forms

We use forms to help you (and us!) keep track of donations. Please bring a hard copy of your completed donor form and waiver on the day of the event. If you or a family member is on the swim team, they received a copy of these documents in their swim folder.
