 The Make A Splash
project volunteers and
members of local service organizations invite you to:
Make a Splash in a Kid’s Life!
Remember your days at the pool? That cooling-off dip in the water,
the excitement you felt the first time you took off your floaters
and swam solo, diving for pennies with friends, your first swim in
the deep end— a lifetime of memories you want to pass on to your
children. In the wake of the economy, we are all feeling the
pinch. For many in our community, that means cutting out their
favorite summer pastime due to swimming entry fees.
In 2010,
over 43% of students in Spokane County public schools lived
at or significantly below the poverty level. That’s over 34,000
children!
Fundraising from the Make a Splash project will
keep those favorite summer memories alive!
Make A Splash project
raises funds to provide low-income
youth access to pools in the greater Spokane area.

Our
goal: distribute 2000 summer passes
The
newly-formed community volunteer Make A Splash
project joins forces with members of local service organizations
and concerned community members to make an even bigger impact for
Spokane swimmers. The Spokane Parks Foundation is the 501©3
umbrella organization for the Make A Splash
project’s ongoing fundraising.
Spokane
is an ideal place to grow up. Our area is fortunate enough to
boast a dozen neighborhood pools that feature the latest slides
and splash pads, making it a child’s summer playground. Every
young person, despite their financial situation at home, should
have the opportunity to swim in the pools.
Are you in?
Take the plunge!
Spokane
has always provided the very best for our youth. Carry on the
legacy of those first summer milestones every young person
experiences at the pools in the greater Spokane area. Help make
each summer a great one for all of our youth by providing a
healthy, positive activity and environment.
