Summer Session I finishes up this week but there’s still more swimming to do! Thanks in part to R staff who donated and helped build partnerships, we are dropping off more than one hundred swimsuits and two dozen pairs of goggles to the Boys and Girls Club of Newark today – and that is only one of several donation drops throughout the state already! If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, there’s still time to support the NJSSA, NJRPA, and Dolfin Swimwear
BATHING SUIT AND GOGGLE DRIVE 2025
In NJ, swimsuits are required to be worn during swim lessons.
SWIMSUITS LEAD TO SWIM LESSONS. SWIM LESSONS SAVE LIVES!
Drop off any new, unused children’s swimsuits and goggles at Blumenthal 100 or email joymcd@rutgers.edu to arrange a pickup!
Help us beat last year’s record of over 3,300 bathing suits, 7,200 swim diapers, and 600 goggles distributed including donations to our Newark Boys and Girls Club as well as the cities of Newark, East Orange, and Orange.
Donations will be accepted until August 15th but the sooner the better so that children can participate in summer swim lessons and camps.
