Walls are going up at the White Rock YMCA

The walls are going up at the new White Rock YMCA location on Gaston. There’s been some pretty serious progress on the building in the past few weeks, which is good, considering they hope to open in January.

The White Rock YMCA is within 85-90 percent of its fundraising goal of $14 million, which you can track on the White Rock YMCA website.

The clock is ticking on fundraising for the White Rock YMCA, which needs to raise $2 million by January 2015. It recently received a challenge grant from The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation to help ease the load. If the White Rock Y is able to raise $1.5 million by January, then the Mabee Foundation will donate the last $500,000.

To help move things along, the Y launched the 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.”
