Updates
This is where we will post updates about fundraisers, events and meetings. Our foundation meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6pm in the Grottoes town building. We would love to have you join us and hear your ideas. If you're able, follow or like our page on Facebook to receive the most up to date information about meetings.
Fundraising Update
After our second successful Bingo Night in September, we are officially over the $40,000 goal!
We have officially started the first phase of repairs with National Pools! The work is estimated to be completed by December so we can ensure all repairs are successful.
Bingo #2 Update
Our second bingo night and silent auction is officially over and was such a success! Again, we are at a loss for words with the outpouring of support we’ve received from our members, local businesses, and the community. We raised over $7,800!!!!
We are so very thankful to The Denton Family Charitable Foundation for sponsoring this bingo and donating all of the wonderful goodies!
A big thank you to the Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department for partnering with us and letting us use their event hall! (And for the firefighters who helped us setup yesterday!)
Another BIG thank you to the Domino’s in Elkton for donating 20 yummy pizzas and a family pizza party for the silent auction!
Again, thank you to everyone who volunteered, participated, supported and donated to us. Our favorite part of the journey to reopening the Grottoes pool has been bringing the community together. We’ll see you at the next one!
July 13th Bingo Update
We were completely blown away by the outpouring of support we received for our first ever bingo. Because of our amazing community, we raised over $6,000! Thank you to each person, business, organization, member of our foundation and everyone else who donated items and/or purchased items with their own money. Each donation has let us get to this point and it’s how we’re going to make this pool possible! We will now start planning another bingo. More details to come!
A HUGE thank you to Lauren Brunk and the WoodmenLife Chapter 347 in Grottoes for partnering with us to use their building and to Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department for letting us use their bingo equipment! We can’t have a successful bingo night without the bingo supplies.
Blackstone Raffle at Ace Hardware
So grateful for Grottoes Ace Hardware's support! Through the raffle for the Blackstone griddle graciously paid for by Kim Harper, and the Ace Hardware donation of 20% of sales, we hit $3450.00 for Save Grottoes Pool!
