NSEA Swim Shares Holiday Blessings Through Angel Program

NSEA Swim is hoping to make several children's holidays special this year. We have placed an Angel Tree at the Earl Jackson pool in the Northside to surprise some underserved children in the community with gifts and cheer this season. 

If you'd like to participate, take a mitten from the tree to choose your Angel. Families may want to work together to sponsor a child. Wrapped gifts are due on Monday, December 14, and all gifts should be clearly labeled with the letter and number from the back of your mitten. If you have questions about the program, reach out to Kelly Crowley at kelly@kellycrowley.com. Thank you all for sharing your gifts with our local community!!
