SWAN SOCIETY
Eleven years ago, LVIM took a chance on a group of Leaders to rally alongside the Swan Derby and increase its impact. That chance has resulted in more than $634,443 raised through the Leaders of Polk-Derby Dash!
In an effort to continue engaging with each other and with LVIM, we had the idea to create an Alumni Association for the Leaders. The Swan Society was officially launched in 2017, at the Lakeland Derby’s 10th anniversary.
By joining the Swan Society, the Leaders receive special recognition as a Swan Society Member on the LVIM website, invitations to the race day VIP party, a Swan Society name badge featuring the Swan Society logo, and invitations to exclusive Swan Society and LVIM events.
We encourage all of our Leaders to join the Swan Society to continue to show their support and to share the mission of LVIM with our community!
