Women Swimmin’ for Hospicare will take place on Saturday, August 11 and many hands are needed before, during, and after the event to make sure it runs smoothly and safely. Volunteers are an integral part of the success of Women Swimmin’ each year—we couldn’t do it without them!

Out on the water, we will need experienced boaters to help escort swimmers across the lake. Boaters must have their own canoes or kayaks. They should have experience in open water and be comfortable in choppy and/or windy conditions. Because our escort boaters play a vital safety role, this is not a job for inexperienced or beginning boaters and all boaters and passengers must be 18 years or older.
All money raised by Women Swimmin’ goes directly toward patient services at Hospicare, including subsidies for patients without means to cover the cost of their care, complementary therapies such as acupuncture and music, and bereavement services for those in our community dealing with loss, regardless of whether their loved one died on hospice services.
