Success!! Third
Rink Fund Reaches $1,000,000!!
After ten years and several attempts,
the recent 3rd rink fundraising campaign was a success!! Thank
you very much to all of you who donated to this cause.
Donations are still being accepted to help cover the costs of
inscribing names on the "blocks of ice" and for the memorial
area to be built in Ryan's Rink. If you have not donated but
would like to do so please go to
www.epharinkfund.com
to donate online or for information on where you can send your
check. This is the last chance to get your family name on
a "block of ice" (minimum donation of $1,000). If you have given
less than $1,000 and would like to donate the difference to
obtain one please send in your donation asking us to link it to
your prior donation.
