Capital Campaign Announces Million Dollar Challenge!
The Aquatic Center Capital Campaign is off to an exciting start with a $1,000,000 matching challenge pledged by the Kamphefner Family. For every personal donation received we will match that amount up to a total of $1 million. Says Rex Kamphefner, “I’m hoping this will encourage folks to dig a little deeper when making their contributions. The more they donate, the more I will match.”
“I used to be a runner, but turned to swimming thanks to my kids. It’s hard to hang out for hours at a swim meet and not want to jump in,” notes Kamphefner. “Of all the people I’ve hung out with in my life, I find that Del Oro and Loomis Basin Dolphin families are just the best—hard working, upbeat, and generous people with good values. I’m just so pleased to be a part of such a community and to have my children grow up here. I’ve lived all over the world, and so appreciate the values that our kids learn at the pool and Del Oro High School. It’s hard to find elsewhere. The current pool has been around 40 years, and it’s just shot. I want to do all I can to ensure another 40 years’ worth of good kids like the ones that we’re all so proud of right now. I’m sorry that we can’t do it all, but my family will give the pool project a big hard push if you will.”
Refer to our website, http://www.deloroaquaticcenter.com/ for donation information. You can donate via PayPal or by sending a check directly to the Placer Union High School District in Auburn, attention Anne Evans.
Remember that EVERY donation is appreciated and important. Furthermore, if you ask your friends and neighbors to help out, we will achieve our goals even more quickly. The current facility was built in this very way; we can do it again for our children and our community.
