Groundswell to Groundbreaking

We are almost there...just $230,000 more to raise by March 31 for groundbreaking! This is the first of five weekly updates - we will keep you informed of our collective progress. Now is the time to turn in your pledge card or make your donation for the 50-meter Sharp pool.

Many thanks to all who have already supported the capital campaign. The generous groundswell of giving has been encouraging and much appreciated. We are grateful to the families that hosted the information socials and for the attendance of NOVA parents at these great gatherings. So much positive energy!

The " Make a Change with Your Change" contest raised over $10,000 toward the capital campaign. Thanks to our swimmers and families who made this happen.
Why Give?

Giving to the project is your opportunity to pay it forward for NOVA, just like swim families before you did. The 50-meter pool will benefit NOVA families and the community in many ways:

  • Long course training
  • Less crowded lanes
  • NOVA-hosted long course meets = more opportunities, less travel and more savings
  • Expansion of our Lessons program
  • Greater impact on the Richmond community
Want to WIN a prize?

Each week in March, we will draw a random name and award a prize to one current family who has made a gift or pledge. Be a contender and get your pledge in!
