Swim For Hope&nbsp;🏊&zwj;♀️ brings communities together to support our mission in expanding access to quality educational and enrichment programs for all children, and helping others in need. This year, the&nbsp;Old Bridge Breakers (OBB)&nbsp;are diving into make an even greater impact.&nbsp;OLMA Mater Foundation is proud to partner with the OBB and dedicate a portion of our proceeds from this event to advance the mission of the OLMA Mater Foundation, and the American Cancer Society (ACS). At our upcoming Breakers event, we will be selling fresh popcorn to spectators and swimmers alike, with funds directly benefiting both the lifesaving work of the ACS and our OLMA Mater&rsquo;s educational initiatives. Your contribution&nbsp;helps us continue making a real impact in changing lives &mdash; through financial support, creative workshops, learning tools, and volunteers &mdash; to strengthen enrichment programs in underserved communities. Help us turn every lap into a step toward lasting educational experiences!
