Dear WCC Members and Friends,

ļ»æ

This fall, we set out to reach an important Boathouse Rehabilitation Campaign milestone - raising $500,000 toward our $1M goal. Beginning with our Call to Action night in mid-December and going through the end of 2024, our community of supporters made generous one-time gifts and committed to supporting us with pledges over the next three years. Now that the gifts have been tallied, we are thrilled to reportā€¦.


We did it!


Thank you to the more than 100 individuals who answered the call for support and helped bring our campaign total to $501,191! Click here to see the list of generous campaign donors.


We are fortunate to have so many dedicated and active WCC members. To date, about 1/3 of members have contributed to the campaign. Just imagine if every member participated - together we would reach our $1 million campaign goal and be ready to begin Phase 1 of our renovations this summer!


In the coming months, we will update you on the progress of the boathouse plans and how you can help us reach our fundraising goal. Please donā€™t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or would like to discuss a campaign gift or pledge in more detail: fundraising@washingtoncanoeclub.org.


Thank you for being a part of the Washington Canoe Club community!
