Fundraising Update

After our Night Out event at Alpine Goat Brewery, we are officially over the $66,000 goal! 

We have officially completed the first phase of pool repairs with the money raised. Next, we plan to tackle the pool decking, repairs to the snack shack and restrooms, and pool furniture. Stay tuned for more events and fundraisers!

Swimming into Summer Bingo
& Silent Auction

Come Bingo with us one last time before the pool opens for the season! We will be having our fourth Bingo and Silent Auction on April 26th at South River Elementary School. Doors will open at 4pm and Bingo starts at 5pm. 

Our Silent Auction already has some great items up for grabs! We are accepting donations for Silent Auction and baskets for Bingo prizes. We are looking for any new or vintage/antique items, gift certificates, or items from our Amazon Wishlist. 

Tickets are $25 and include 3 Bingo cards for 20 games. If you purchase presale tickets through the link below, you'll get a fourth Bingo card for FREE! 

A Night Out with GPPF

We had SO much fun celebrating our pool and people last night at our Night Out event! We raised $4,060 because of YOUR support! As Maite, our President, mentioned last night, “our mission for the Grottoes Pool Preservation Foundation is twofold. One to preserve and reopen the pool— which we’ve done. Two is to rejuvenate it with events like tonight and future fundraisers.” We want to see the pool thrive and will continue to raise money for the different projects that will support our mission.

Now time for some very important thank yous! It takes a village for our events and fortunately for us, we have the best one.

Thank you to our wonderful venue The Alpine Goat Brewery for hosting and working with us. A beautiful event space with yummy beer! Thank you to our caterer Log Cabin Barbecue for the delicious BBQ dinner and making it all so easy. Thank you to the comedians The Funny Womacks for your hilarious show and support of our cause. Thank you to Rocked by Redbeard for such a fun night and all of the dancing! Special shoutout to our live auctioneer Rachel Crawford Jackson! We think she’s found a new career!

Special thank you to our live auction donors - Hannah Mary Wills (local artist) and her beautiful painting, Rachel Jackson for the men’s sweater and Yeti rambler, Karen Michael’s Airbnb, Lil Gus’s for the gift certificate, Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport for the travel voucher, Nadina Pupic for the travel accessories, Tyler at Massanutten for the family passes, Sarah Parker for the beautiful wreath, and Zlatko Pupic for the handmade wooden planters!

Bingo #3 Update

Wow… our third bingo was one for the books! $7,300 raised all in ONE night! A BIG thank you to everyone who attended, donated and volunteered to make this happen. It’s been the most rewarding process to see our community show up for us and the pool! 
Special thank you to the Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department for letting us use the space and the firefighters who helped us setup! Thank you to Linda Kegley for helping us and allowing us to use the bingo equipment. The best hostess! 
Special thank you to the fire department members who shoveled, helped clean up, and helped us locate different supplies - Amy Morris, Gretta and Liz. Thank you to Kim Biggs for shoveling and bringing salt! 
Special thank you to our foundation members who donate their money, resources, and most importantly, time to make all of our events possible and help us reach our goal of opening the pool.
We are so appreciative of the support we continue to receive. Stay tuned for details about our Night Out at Alpine Goat Brewery on March 1st
