Capital Campaign Update
"Y it's time: The campaign to build a new YMCA now" This YMCA will be transformed from one of the oldest YMCAs to one of the largest facilities in New England. The campaign is one of the largest capital campaigns on the North Shore. This is one of the most unique YMCAs across the country because of the collaboration with the Boston Ballet Center for Dance Education, which will house a North Shore satellite campus on the second floor. click here for our short film clip on our progress. The new state-of-the-art YMCA will include: 8 lane, 25-yard competitive pool and warm water training pool with buildt-in ramp Gymnastics Center Fitness Center Full-size Gymnasium 4 Squash Courts, including 1 Doubles Early Learning Education Center Teen Center 4 Boston Ballet Dance Studios Outdoor Pool and Playing FieldsThe Marblehead/Swampscott YMCA will continue to be the community center it has always been, but now it will have the physical capacity to offer more activities for every member of the community. The YMCA has raised $12 million toward the $14 million fundrasing goal. That means we still have an additional $2 million to raise by the opening of the new building in September 2008. In 2007, the campaign was awarded a Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant of $750,000. Construction of the new facility has begun and a grand opening is expected for September 2008! Thank you to Our Donors
We successfully raised the $2.2 million in 18 months to meet The Kresge Foundation Challenge Grant and were awarded $750,000! The support of the community made this milestone in the campaign a success with close to 1,000 donors.
