I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. As our much-anticipated Point to La Pointe gets closer, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support of the Bayfield Rec Center. The Point to La Pointe is not just a challenging and fun swim, it is  our largest fundraiser of the year, and it plays a crucial role in keeping our programs running and accessible to everyone in our community. 

 

The Bayfield Rec Center is a non-profit dedicated to promoting the physical and mental well-being of people of all ages. We currently serve 1500 members per month and have 50,000 visits per year – significant for our small community!  For seniors, we offer fitness classes that help them stay active and cognitively sharp so they can continue to live independent lives. We offer lifesaving swimming lessons (800 young people annually) and our youth swimming team has doubled in size in just one year. As swimmers you know that these programs help youth become confident, self-reliant, and independent. We truly are a place for all generations to come together.

 

Every dollar raised helps ensure that the Bayfield Rec Center remains a welcoming place for all who walk through our doors. Participants, Sponsors, donors, fundraisers, and volunteers make this our biggest fundraiser! We couldn’t do it without your generosity. Last year our fundraisers contributed a total of $17,000. Even if you are not registered as a fundraiser this year you can still contribute financially.

 

Thank you for helping make our Rec Center a keystone of the community for the past 40 years and for another 40 years into the future!

 

I would like to welcome two of our sponsors to this year’s Point to La Pointe and let you know about the exciting opportunities they each have for you. Both companies have supported our event in the past and we're happy to have them be a part of our event again this year.
