FINAL DAY OF “SWIM FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY” AND SEATTLE HOME SHOW 2013


As the Seattle Home Show 2013 draws to a close, Northwesterners are in their final hours of “Swim for Habitat for Humanity,” where they are swimming to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.   Swimmers are doing their best to raise as much money as possible for this non-profit before the show ends tonight by swimming continuously in a swim spa without touching any part of the spa, or any person or any object.   Show visitors are joining in on the fun too by watching the swimmers as they accumulate funds for every minute they swim.  “Swim for Habitat for Humanity” is sponsored by the Seattle Home Show, Aqua Quip and BECU, who are donating $5 for every minute swimmers can swim.   If swimmers swim longer than 30 minutes, the donation increases to $10 per minute.   The public can also make donations to the swim by visiting the Habitat for Humanity website at https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=beab13 and selecting “Swim for Habitat for Humanity” in “kind of donation”.
