(BUFFALO, NY) Swimmers of all ages are invited to the seventh annual Carly’s Crossing, a unique open-water swim event to raise funds in support of Carly’s Club at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

The event, presented by Creditors Interchange, will be held on Sunday, August 16 at Gallagher Beach on Buffalo’s waterfront and will feature one-mile and 600-yard non-competitive courses, as well as a one-mile timed swim. Plus, families, friends and other spectators are invited to join participants for a post-event party on the beach. This kid-friendly celebration features a bounce house, games, live music, food and more.
