Grottoes Pool Preservation Foundation
We are dedicated to preserving and reviving the Town of Grottoes Pool, a vital recreational space for our community.
The how and why we're working so hard to ensure the long-term viability of Grottoes Pool.
Fundraising Update
It's been just over a year since we started fundraising and hosting events to raise funds for the needed pool repairs. Now we are just at the start of the 2025 pool season and have raised $90,000!
Through the outpouring of support from our community, businesses, foundation members and volunteers, we have been able to pay for the necessary repairs, donate $30,000 towards a new pool deck, donate more than $10,000 of brand new pool furniture, donate towards a new pool fence and will be continuing to fundraise for a full remodeling project of the pool house, snack shack and bathrooms.
2025 GRAND REOPENING OF THE GROTTOES POOL
LOCATED IN GRAND CAVERNS PARK
We had so much fun celebrating our accomplishments and showing off our beautiful pool to the community. The water might’ve been a little chilly, but we still jumped in!
We have now raised over $90k! We paid for the necessary repairs/remodeling to fix leaks, donated $30k towards a brand new pool deck, purchased $10k worth of brand new pool furniture, and will continue to support the pool by replacing the pool fence and saving to assist the town with future repairs/renovations to the pool building.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our efforts and the pool! Annual passes are for sale at the office/lodge at Grand Caverns Park. Hope to see you and your families at the pool this season!
Swimming into Summer Bingo & Silent Auction Update
We had SO much fun at our Swimming into Summer Bingo and Silent Auction!
With the help of our community members, the foundation, the wonderful businesses and supporters who donated items, time and resources… we raised over $11,000! This was our biggest bingo yet! Our goal for this bingo was to fundraise enough so that we could purchase and provide all of the necessary pool furniture. Safe to say we’ve met our goal
After this $11k, we’ve now officially raised $77k! This has allowed us to pay $30k on the leak repair, we have committed $30k towards the concrete deck repair and we are purchasing $10k in pool furniture (includes updating picnic tables and purchase additional seating for the pool). The remaining funds will go towards future pool house repairs. Don’t forget, the pool still needs lifeguards! This is a great job for any students out for the summer. Please apply through the town website.
THANK YOU to all of our supporters, community members, our fantastic foundation members and volunteers, and to all of the businesses and individuals that donated their time, money, resources, and items.
