Only $14,781 Left To Raise
March 4, 2021
Help us close the gap!
While we have raised more than $485,000 towards our goal of $500,000...$14,781 remains to be raised to close this fundraising round and turn our attention to construction.
Each gift we receive makes the next gift just a little easier to find. Now it's time to connect with everyone we know who hasn't given to close the gap and make Phase 1 a reality. As they say, the hardest part of a capital campaign is raising the last 20%. No one even talks about raising the last 3%!
We were hoping to close this fundraising round on March 1st. We knew that our timeline was ambitious, but the truth is, that if we can't raise the remaining $14.7K this week, our project can't go out to bid and we can expect delays stretching into the fall, potentially disrupting our ability to reopen our facility next school year.

Thanks to the gifts we've received, both large and small, we anticipate that Camp Cooper will be able to host larger groups, better accommodate people of different abilities, all while reducing our water use, and making our facility more comfortable and attractive to visitors. In addition, we will be adding a solar shaded outdoor classroom that will serve as a gateway to desert adventures at Camp Cooper.
