SWEDs “Challenge of Champions”
2025 Holiday Matching Campaign

Donation Tracker

Goal $14,000
Total $6334

Donate by December 31, 2025

This holiday season, we are again asking SWEDs to rally together and continue this work of personal and team excellence, both in the pool and for the community. Another group of anonymous donors is putting forward a $7,000 matching challenge to all of us, matching all donations between now and the New Year dollar-for-dollar, up to a total matching gift of $7,000. 
That means we can raise another $14,000 for the team heading into next year!

Through this year’s SWEDs “Challenge of Champions” Holiday Challenge, we aim to: 

  • Pay for pool rentals at places such as Uplift Community High School and Northside College Prep;  

  • Subsidize swimmer fees to keep costs low and ensure more people can participate;

  • Host team events like the celebrated and successful “March Madness” swim meet at UIC in 2026; 

  • Give financial support to community partners to help provide aquatics programming in under-resourced areas

  • Make another $1,000 gift to Uplift to provide them with fins and a large whiteboard for writing workouts.

Chicago Swedish Fish Masters is a nonprofit, so all donations are tax-deductible.
