Stacie Renfro giving a hard hat tour through the new White Rock YMCA
Construction on the new White Rock YMCA on Gaston is almost complete. The outside is finished, and now crews are putting the final touches on the inside. Soon they’ll start moving in furniture and equipment.
Stacie Renfro, the senior program director; Ann Noble, the annual campaign chair; and Eric Schenkelberg, the VP of operations, gave us a hard hat tour through the new facility, which you can see in the video below.
(Also, take a look back at the YMCA’s construction progress through these photos.)
At the start of the new year, the White Rock YMCA is still within 85-90 percent of its fundraising goal of $14 million. They’ve raised $12 million, but they still need to raise the last $2 million. You can track the progress on the White Rock YMCA website.
The Y is continuing its Click the Brick campaign. Starting at $1,500, community members can purchase a brick with their name on it. Each will receive a yard sign saying “I gave to my Y.” Go to the White Rock YMCA website to learn more.
The YMCA is also launching its annual campaign today. In 2014, they were able to raise $183,000, which will go towards providing membership and other YMCA services for neighbors who can’t afford them. Ann Noble will be heading up the 2015 campaign.
