This would have no place at a USMS meet, a forced charity gig. Rowdy gives plenty of his time and poses for free. If you want to donate, USA Swimming has a foundation, along with the USMS SSL Foundation. Our LMSC also allows donations. Many swim meets will have raffles for gear at events, which is fine but they usually support USAS, USMS, or the club. I'd rather the money be used to fund security to keep wookiee away from the venue and/or have gull give heart healthy lectures after the 50s. Aren't we past being star struck and paying for photos with people at our advanced years?
