Big thanks to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday to support our Winter Training Facility! Winter Training has been a hit so far, and we can’t wait to continue improving it in the months and years to come. Between the generosity of our donors and the contributions from our Board of Directors, the ORC has committed nearly $20k towards the gym facility which will cover the purchase of our new flooring - to be installed in January. We couldn’t have done it without you!
