Participant Fundraising Program Info

The 3rd Annual Jim Whelan Open Water Festival featuring the 56th Around The Island® Swim is offering an updated & simplified Participant Fundraising Program!

Would you like a chance at having a portion of your entrance fee covered as well as provide valuable donations to Green Whales, Inc.?  Then our updated Participant Fundraising Program may be just the thing for you!

Via an integration with this registration website, participants can create a Facebook Fundraiser where you can ask family & friends for donations to Green Whales, Inc.  Donations provided through this fundraiser integration will be associated with your registration.  Based on the amount raised, you could have a portion of your registration fee credited back to you!

Follow these easy steps!

  1. Visit our "Become a Fundraiser" page by clicking this link.
  2. Complete the form.  Be sure to add your picture and a few lines as to why you're competing in the 55th Around The Island® Swim and click "Set Up Fundraiser."
  3. On the next page, you'll see your donation page including a button to link a "Facebook Fundraiser" which will continue to track donations in your name.  You'll also receive an email confirmation that your donation is set up.

Good luck, and thank you for helping to raise money for Green Whales, Inc.!  
Reach out to jwopenwater@gmail.com with any questions.

(IMPORTANT NOTE:  Your full registration fee must be paid in advance.  This fundraiser is offered as a way to receive a "credit" to any fees already paid.)
