The Swim for Brooke team is searching for a local children's nonprofit in the New Orleans metro area to be the recipient of the 2025 Brooke E. Posey Swim-a-Thon & Family FUNraiser!
Every October, the team gathers to discuss suggested nonprofits. We talk about each nominee's needs, the causes they support, and more, and then we vote. The nonprofit with the most votes wins.
This year, we are offering you an opportunity to contribute to the process! We have designed a brief survey for you to provide some insight into the event.
All of us with Swim for Brooke thank you for your time and support throughout these years.
Just Keep Swimming,

Testimonials
“It was a tremendous honor for Hope House to be selected as a beneficiary of The Brooke E. Posey Swim-A-Thon at the Southern Yacht Club. This event not only raised vital funds but also increased awareness of our mission to help children heal and seek justice after experiencing child abuse. The Swim-A-Thon was incredibly enjoyable, and it quickly became our team's favorite fundraiser to date.”

2019 Recipient
"We are incredibly grateful to have been chosen as the recipient of the 2022 Swim for Brooke family fun day. It was wonderful and inspiring to see the children and families of the community come together for a day of FUNraising! These funds will be used to support children fighting pediatric cancer with funds dedicated to research and by helping to build Walker’s Imaginarium at New Orleans Children’s Hospital. Walker’s Imaginarium will be a 12,000 square foot space packed with family fun spaces for music, art, games and SO much more. Walker’s Imaginarium will be a place that children undergoing treatment can explore, find joyful moments and just be a kid while in the hospital."
