SC3 joins forces with Ponderay, NIICE
Bonner County Daily Bee Article, By CAROLINE LOBSINGER, Staff Writer
PONDERAY — Instead of building an ice rink at the fairgrounds, Sandpoint Community Center Corporation is pivoting to support efforts by Ponderay and North Idaho Ice to build a facility at the city’s Field of Dreams.
The news follows discussions by Ponderay Mayor Steve Geiger with Bonner County Commission Chairman Dan McDonald and Dr. Robert Pierce…
Funding Goal 1
$150,000
Our Mission is to build and operate an Ice Skating Arena for the greater Bonner County Community
An ice arena provides multiple activities for all ages AND generates operating income. It’s good for kids, families, Bonner County community visitors, and local businesses….. can’t beat that.
The Sandpoint Community Center Corporation (SC3) was formed to facilitate the construction and operation of a community center for the residents of our area. We are a tax-deductible 501(c)3 corporation. Thus, we depend on philanthropy and support from local citizens and local businesses.
Ice Arena primary goal:
after school programs
our number one priority is to include all local kids and their families
The after-school period is an important time for children. Safe, supervised and fun activities are needed for our youth.
Our goal is to have local businesses sponsor after-school skating and hockey sessions.
