Congratulations, Team Kolman!
A huge congratulations to Team Kolman for your absolutely incredible performance at the Barnegat Light Ocean Mile on Saturday, July 26th, especially considering the very challenging ocean conditions you faced!
Beyond your impressive race, what truly stands out is your overwhelming support for the Kolman Family Scholarship Fund for Swimming Lessons. Every stroke you swam and every cheer you offered contributed to a cause that is making a tangible difference in our community.
This fund, created in memory of Mark Kolman, a devoted father, educator, and swimmer, embodies his legacy by providing free swimming lessons to local children at St. Francis Community Center. Thanks to your efforts, we're removing financial barriers and ensuring more children have the chance to learn essential water safety and swimming skills. Since 2024, dozens of young swimmers have been supported, and with your continued dedication, we're just getting started!
Seeing Team Kolman together as a group, and Amy, PJ, and Pepper proudly displaying their well-deserved medals, fills us with immense pride. Your collective spirit and commitment to both athletic excellence and community support are truly commendable.
Thank you, Team Kolman, for an unforgettable evening and for embodying the spirit of generosity and community. Well done, everyone!
