Splashpad Committee Member Ali Pieken said, “We are simply blown away by the donations that came in within 48-hours following Tuesday’s City Council meeting. I am proud beyond belief to be part of such an incredible community. We received almost $37,000 in 48 hours. This project would not have been possible without the generosity of every donor. Thank you, Atlantic. We cannot wait to Splash with all of you in it!”
To date, $450,000 has been raised for the Splash Pad Project.
