Claire Snow Volunteer of the Year: Loretta Joseph
Loretta Joseph
Swim With Mike is proud to recognize board member Loretta Joseph as the Claire Snow Volunteer of the Year. Through her work as a board member, archivist, and yearbook coordinator, Loretta has made a big difference for the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship fund—and always with commitment, compassion, and of course…cookies!
The Volunteer of the Year Award is named for Claire Snow, a devoted and giving woman whose level of commitment to her family, friends, and SWM is legendary. A mother to all, she gave unconditionally–her presence has left an indelible mark upon the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund that will never be forgotten.
For fifteen years, Snow was involved with swimmer registration, constantly dedicating hours of her time to the enormous and often tedious task. She also worked to train the USC Helenes each year and could be seen hauling box upon box of forms to and from the Swim. There were never any limits to the lengths that Claire would go for the benefit of SWM. Previous award recipients include: Oscar Mendoza, Don and Debbie Ludwig, the Walsh Family, Jason and Rena Pilalas, and Jack and Barbara Cameron.
Loretta Joseph has served on the SWM Board since 2009, but her history with the organization goes back to the beginning, when her father, Dr. John Abdun-Nur got involved at the request of honorary “adopted son” Ron Orr, now SWM Executive Director.

The Many Ways to Support SWM
As Swim With Mike celebrates its 32nd year, we look to the future and explore a number of ways to support the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund as it continues to provide scholarships to recipients at USC and partial grants to recipients from universities around the country. Your contribution creates a “ripple effect,” changing the lives of students and their families, and inspiring their communities. Make a general donation, or check out these other ways you can support SWM!
Participate and Collect Sponsorships
Register as a SWM participant (formerly “swimmer”) either online or using our sponsor sheet. Swim, walk, run, roll, or pledge your time in another creative way to get your friends and family to sponsor you with a flat rate donation or amount per time/distance. They can donate online or with cash/ checks. Create teams and work together to get even more people involved. You can earn great incentives including tickets to the USC barbecue, goodie bags, and more.
Karin Larson
The Karin Larson Endowed Swim With Mike Executive Director Chair
Established in 2011, the Endowed Swim With Mike Executive Director Chair began with a $500,000 donation from Karin Larson, the largest single donation in the history of the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund. This endowment will someday allow SWM to hire a full-time executive director.
The Centofante Anniversary Club
Al Centofante established the Anniversary Club at SWM’s 10th Anniversary by donating $100 for each year of the event. For example, club members will donate $3200 this year in honor of the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund’s 32nd year. After Al’s passing, his family keeps the tradition going by matching all new increases and members.
The Miller Challenge
To date, the Miller Challenge has donated more than $250,000 to SWM. Thanks to the generosity of Stephen Miller of the G. Willard Miller Foundation, this challenge aims to increase annual giving by making a matching donation of $320 (this year, $10 for each year of SWM) for each new, first-time participant in 2012. This challenge is made possible by the inspiration of Mike and Betsy Thomas, founders of Project Walk, a non-profit organization offering a recovery program for individuals with a spinal cord injury.
Will and Linda Gassett Operating Endowment
An initial gift of $100,000 from Will and Linda Gassett established the operating endowment. Income from this endowment will be used to fund operating costs so that all donations can be applied to scholarships.
Mayer-Leahy Endowment
Prior to becoming USC’s Director of Athletics, Pat Haden made the Mayer- Leahy Scholarship Endowment possible with an initial gift of $250,000. USC’s Mike Fritschner is the current scholarship recipient.
The Jennifer Walsh Endowment Fund
Contributors may donate to this endowment, established in memory of Jennifer Walsh, a 1993 SWM scholarship recipient who lost her cancer battle with osteosarcoma. Walsh’s family began the endowment after her passing in 1994. The fund currently benefits Molly Higley of USC.
2011 Masters Challenge winner Drew Daniele
Masters Challenge
Masters swimmers can register online to support SWM by swimming anywhere, anytime. For every $100 raised, they receive an entry into a raffle for some great prizes, including trips to SWM Hawaii/Waikiki Roughwater Swim and SWM Las Vegas/Slam the Dam. On top of that, their contributions will be matched by…
The Tod Spieker Challenge
This challenge matches all monies raised by participants in the Masters Challenge and all funds raised by the 2nd Annual Swim With Mike Cal up to $12,000. Spieker was an All-American swimmer at UCLA, competing from 1968-1971, and continues to successfully compete in Master’s Swimming. The Spieker Aquatics Center at Cal is named for former Cal water polo letterman Edward “Ned” Spieker, (Tod’s brother) who provided major funding for the facility.
Attend SWM at USC or any of our satellite events to support annual scholarships through fundraisers like the silent auction, buying SWM apparel, or other fun features. SWM appreciates any support, big or small, to help us in our life-changing mission of helping physically challenged athletes overcome their tragedies and realize their full potential!
To make a general donation or contribute to any of the aforementioned programs, visit www.SwimWithMike.org, or mail to Swim With Mike, University of Southern California, 3501 Watt Way, Heritage Hall MC 203A, Los Angeles, California, 90089. To donate online, click here.

Featured Recipient: Jennifer Bou Lahoud

Jennifer Bou Lahoud – San Dimas, CA
University of Southern California – 2014
Jennifer’s started playing basketball in junior high school and it became her passion. She was active in individual sports like cycling until one December day in 2008 when she broke her back in a sledding accident. She dislocated her T10 and T11 vertebrae which bruised her spinal cord resulting in paralysis from the waist down. Not accepting the doctor’s diagnosis that she would never walk again, Jennifer threw that passion into her rehabilitation. Her private high school was not accessible for her wheelchair so she was forced to transfer to a public school where she was able to continue her honors courses and graduate with her class. At USC Jennifer will commit her studies, her research and her focus towards others with spinal cord injuries as she pursues a degree in biomedical engineering.
