Griffin Hospital will host the second annual “Housy One-Miler” swim at 10:00 am Sunday, Aug. 14.
This one-mile swim event, sponsored by Prudential, will begin at the Housatonic River Bank, 36 Birchbank Road in Shelton.
In concert with a committee of volunteers and the residents of the Birchbank area of Shelton, Griffin Hospital launched the Housy One-Miler swim last year to raise money for the Campaign for Breast Wellness, which aims to raise $1 million for the Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness.
The event experienced such an outpouring of support and enthusiasm from the community that the hospital decided to produce a second swim.
“With the leadership and support of so many dynamic volunteers, led by Charlie Sullivan and Pat Tarasovic, we are sure to have another huge success and to raise considerable support for our Campaign, which is currently within $250,000 of being complete,” said Patrick Charmel, President and CEO of Griffin Hospital.
