This collaboration is designed to celebrate college swimmers and teams that are actively making a significant impact within their communities through their exceptional leadership, fundraising prowess, and friendly competition.
In an effort to commend the outstanding achievements of college fundraisers participating in Swim Across America events, the CSCAA will be recognizing the top individual college fundraisers. These individuals have shown an exceptional commitment to the cause, helping to raise funds that contribute to Swim Across America's mission of supporting cancer research, clinical trials, and patient programs.

This initiative aligns with the core values of both organizations, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and the power of collective action.
"We are thrilled to rejuvenate the partnership between Swim Across America and the CSCAA," said Samantha Barany, Executive Director of the CSCAA. "The philanthropic efforts of Swim Across America are impressive and impact nearly everyone in some way with the fight against cancer. The open water events hosted by Swim Across America are an excellent opportunity for our college teams and athletes to engage in charitable endeavors within a familiar and loved environment - the water. We will continue to find more ways to collaborate and I believe this is just the beginning!"
