Swim Across America​, Inc.​ hosts charity swims across the country, with the proceeds funding life-saving ​cancer ​research and clinical trials. Due to Covid-19, Swim Across America -​ ​Charlotte is not able to host their annual open-water charity swim, nor sponsor our Park Crossing pool-swim fundraiser. For this reason, we are going to dedicate our September lap swims to SAA-Charlotte and their efforts to raise funds for cancer research at the Levine Cancer Institute.

Money raised from our efforts will go to Charlotte - area doctors and researchers at Levine Cancer Institute who are pioneering new cures to beat this dreaded disease. Please support us as we make waves to fight cancer.

We know this has been a challenging time for so many but want to share what certain levels of fundraising dollars can do:

• -$25 can pay for a tumor sample to be processed and gene tested.
• -$100 can pay for the analysis of all the active genes in a single sample of human cancer cells or tumor tissue.
• -$500 can pay for the purchase of a cancer cell culture used for investigating cancer gene functions and targeted therapies.
