The Provincetown Community Compact presents the
26th Annual Provincetown Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla -
September 7, 2013.
It’s been twenty-six years and $3M raised since the first Provincetown Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla in 1988. From an intimate gathering of sixteen swimmers who raised $6,000 to last year’s 400 swimmers who raised over $200,000, this post-Labor Day fundraiser has become the quintessential Provincetown tradition. The popular weekend will feature the Swim on Saturday, September 7 at the Boatslip Resort, with the Celebration of Life Convert the night before at the UU Meeting House.
