Swim for a Good Cause This Weekend

Beachwood High School’s is one of 50 pools in the area participating in an annual event benefitting diabetes services in Northeast Ohio.

The event, now in its 26th year, raises money for a camp for children with diabetes, local outreach and education programs and community services.

With more than 600 swimmers and 300 volunteers, last year’s event raised more than $200,000 for the Diabetes Association of Greater Cleveland’s services.

Swim for Diabetes will be held April 8 through 10 at pools across the region, including the Beachwood High School Natatorium on April 9 and 10 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at the Mandel Jewish Community Center for members on April 10 from 1 to 3 p.m.
