Thank You Supporters!

Thank You!

In early June, BCC launched a capital campaign with a fundraising goal of $148,000—approximately half of the cost to repair the curling club’s flood damage and to complete a first round of necessary code upgrades triggered by the renovation. 

When 2021 came to a close, the capital campaign had received $86,490 in donations, more than three times as much as prior capital campaigns. Social media posts, a GoFundMe page, articles in the GNCC newsletter and Bangor Daily News spread word of our plight well beyond our membership. In addition to member contributions, friends, family members, curlers from afar, foundations, businesses and other organizations have rallied behind us to a degree we couldn’t have imagined. 

In addition, for ten days in November, bidding was open on 93 extraordinarily diverse items donated to BCC’s Curling Rocks! online auction. The fundraiser was a stunning success, raising $2000 to defray the cost of hosting the Scot Tour in November 2022, PLUS an additional $14,388 that will go toward the lower level renovation!

The Belfast Curling Club is deeply grateful to all who made a donation in 2021 to our Capital Campaign or the Curling Rocks! Auction. Whether $10 or $10,000, every gift contributes to the continued existence of Maine’s only dedicated ice facility and this unique sport that fosters fun and well-being through the winter.  Thank you to one and all who gave. (It should be noted that Network for Good donations are comprised of multiple gifts to individual fundraisers for which we don’t have names.)
