A new fundraising campaign with “one goal, two projects” has begun, raising money to both purchase the Yakima Ice Rink property and eventually build a new ice sports facility.
The campaign began last spring and raised about $100,000, YAHA president Chris Bartheld said.
The nonprofit organization has “a bold mission: to build a new, state-of-the-art ice facility for the Yakima Valley.” The foundation believes it will need three phases to open a new ice rink, with each phase costing $5 million.
