TWELVE MILE COULEE SCHOOL OUTDOOR FITNESS AREA
We are getting closer, and hope to build the TMC Outdoor Fitness Area sometime between April and September of 2015.
The Tuscany Community Association’s application for the Amateur Sport Grant through Parks Foundation Calgary was successful!! The TCA will receive $60,000 towards the development of the TMC Outdoor Fitness Area. A huge thank you to Parks Foundation Calgary, the Calgary Flames, the Saddledome Foundation and the Tuscany Community Association for their incredible support!! We would not be as close to completion without you.
In addition, our application for the Alberta Tire Recycling Municipal Demonstration Grant was also a great success, bringing in $30,000 to this project!! Thank you!
Tuscany Sobeys very generously matched donations from the add a dollar campaign dollar for dollar, for a total of $3,300! It was a wonderful surprise and we greatly appreciate the community of Tuscany and Sobey’s support.
And a final thank you to Concert Infrastructure/B2L and Tuscany School for each donating $10,000, Cardel Home/Renovation for donating $5000, and Lisa Larson, our Cookies by George angel who donated a whopping 1400 cookies January 29, raising $858 so far (700 cookies remain for our next sale, taking up all my freezer space) to help this project be a success. You have made a significant impact in our fundraising efforts and bring us closer to a spring 2015 build. We appreciate your generosity!
Crowfoot COBS Bread will continue to donate 5% of any purchase to this project when you mention Twelve Mile Coulee school fundraiser at the time of your purchase.
We met the December 15 Alberta government’s CFEP grant deadline for application submission, for a potential matching grant of $125,000. This grant may take 6 – 9 months to process and provide funding. Our MLA, Sandra Jansen followed up on January 30 regarding our application, and has been advised it is still in the review process. She has asked that I contact her at the end of February.
To date, we have raised approximately $215, 000 in cash and in kind donations. If we receive the full $125,000 matching grant in a timely manner, our fundraising for this project is complete and we can look towards the spring of 2015 to build.
Thank you for your continued support and please contact me if you have any questions.
