Match Donation Goal Exceeded!

We are always amazed and inspired by the generosity of the Chester Bowl Community. Thank you for stepping up for us once again!

With only two days left in our match period, we still needed to raise $1,378 to obtain our full match. With the deadline looming, 24 of you donated a total of nearly $7,000 to bring us to $55,603 raised!

Then, right at the end, we had two donors that wanted to make sure that we didn’t just meet our goal, we smashed it. One anonymous supporter donated $10,000! Loll Designs donated to Growing Up Chester for the fifth consecutive year. Their $5,000 contribution brings their total support for Chester Bowl to $100,000!!!

That brings our final fundraising total during this match period to $70,603, ensuring that we will receive the full $50,000 match from our generous anonymous donor.

We appreciate every single one of you that has donated to Growing Up Chester over the years. We have had this ambitious dream completely renovate and expand the beloved Thom Storm Chalet. That dream came with a big price tag- $3,850,000. Thanks to all of you, the project is now 88% funded, with just $450,000 left to raise!

What’s next? We will continue to raise money to fill that funding gap. We expect to be able to access the $2.3 million LCCMR grant in July; at that point we will begin the next stage of design work for the building.

Part of our fundraising strategy in the next six months includes approaching additional businesses about supporting Growing Up Chester. If your place of work is philanthropically minded, or you think it should be, please reach out to Dave (dave@chesterbowl.org) to help us make the connection! And, as always, you can still make a donation to Growing Up Chester- look for the green “DONATE” button.
