Cool the Coliseum Update


We applaud the Elyria Catholic community, which has helped to raise $80,000 for Coliseum air-conditioning. We have been in discussion with firms to determine the most energy and cost-efficient system for the Coliseum. As the final cost is determined, we are committed to continuing our philanthropic outreach to secure financial support that will result in a cool Coliseum! Updates to follow!
