Gannon water polo invites alumni to activities on Hall of Fame Weekend

Alumni Game, Hall of Fame dinner scheduled for Jan. 28 followed by Swim-A-Thon on Jan. 29; coach Don Sherman is being inducted this year

The Gannon University Men's and Women's Water Polo Teams are pleased to be welcoming back many alumni for the support of previous head coach, Donald Sherman Jr., into the Gannon University Athletics Hall of Fame. The induction is set to take place on Saturday, January 28, 2023. In tandem with those events, the Water Polo programs hope to welcome back alumni from across the country for Water Polo specific events open to alumni, family, and friends of the program.

The inaugural Swim-A-Thon will take place on Sunday, January 29, 2023. Fans are invited to come out to the pool and watch and sponsor a player by making a gift. You can make a flat gift to the team, or sponsor a player by pledging a certain dollar amount for every lap, jug, or goal they complete in a 45- minute time period! Our goal is to have 45 alumni donors and 20 parent donors participate in the 2023 Swim-A-Thon for a total goal of $5,000 raised! Your gift will help our team cover costs associated with West Coast travel and student-athlete experience. Visit https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/GUWP23 for more information
