We are so excited to be back in the water for our 23rd Annual Women Swimmin’ for Hospicare! Check back in here, or on our social media pages, for updates about registration.
All summer long our participants will be Going the Distance by walkin’, swimmin’ laps, knittin’, bikin’, and pickin’ up trash and on Saturday, August 8th, our swimmin’ women will jump in Cayuga Lake in support of compassionate care in our community! Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors every dollar raised goes directly to patient care.
