HOOD RIVER — The volunteer led Save Our Pool, Protect Our Parks & Rec campaign is hosting a free, family friendly Splash Bash fundraiser on Saturday, March 14, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Hood River Pool. The event is organized by the campaign’s political action committee, Hood River Valley Residents for Parks and Recreation, and invites the community to come together in support of protecting essential recreation services and replacing the aging community pool.
The event raises support for the May 19 bond and levy measures that would replace the failing community pool and keep Hood River’s long standing Community Education/Recreation programs alive. Without the levy, these affordable after school classes, youth sports, summer camps, and adult recreation programs will shut down this fall.
“The pool and Community Education programs are cornerstones of our community,” said Kate McBride, campaign chair. “Splash Bash is a fun way for families to enjoy the pool while helping protect the programs and places that keep Hood River active, connected, and learning.”
The event features open swim, kids’ activities, team and club demos, community partner tables, and opportunities to contribute to the campaign. Fundraising items include the Swim Team’s Pink Flamingo campaign, limited edition flamingo swim caps, and raffle prizes from local businesses.
Children must have a parent or guardian on deck. No registration required.
