PROVINCETOWN – Provincetown artist Erna Partoll has been selected as the artist for the 36th Provincetown Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla, held on September 9.
The annual fundraiser event raises funds and awareness for AIDS, women’s health and the community.

This years event will be held in both Provincetown Harbor, starting at 8:30 a.m., as well as at Wellfleet’s Great pond at 9:00 a.m.
