2 The Swimathon means swimming for the community causes. It also means creative campaigns and also involving one s partners and friends as supporters. In 2010, CCF has opened this framework to other organizations too, but also to companies or informal groups from Cluj, who raised LEI trough this mechanism.

3 The Swimathon is a special fundraising event, it is a mechanism activated by the swimmers social networks. At its second edition we have offered to other organizations too, but also to local companies and to informal groups from Cluj, this opportunity to mobilize resources together with the Cluj Community Foundation for the causes motivating them. Therefore, the event has been exponentially growing in amplitude and also in what concerns the number of swimmers, the raised amounts, and the number of supporters and volunteers attending the event.
