Roosevelt City has made a $3 Million commitment to build a new community pool. Duchesne County offered another $1 M to the project, and now it is up to us - citizens of Roosevelt City and surrounding areas - to raise additional funds for a better, more elaborate facility. The multi-sport field house and other pool portions will be added to this project as sufficient funding is secured. 

Our first goal is to meet the $250,000 match offered by Uintah Basin Medical Center. UBMC has agreed to donate $250,000 with up to an additional $250,000 for every dollar we raise in our community. This brings $750,000 to the project, and shows active community involvement, which major donors require before they are willing to make substantial contributions.

Right now we are looking for donations of any size from community residents and local businesses. Large donations are obviously appreciated, but there is equal success in many smaller donations. Please bring to our attention companies that may offer an employee match program for charitable donations, as well as individuals or businesses who would be interested in making the Wellness Center happen. The goal is to keep these efforts local so that we can more effectively approach major companies and grantors.

If you want to keep tabs on how much money has been raised, you can keep checking the thermometer graphic on the left of this page.  Since not all donations are made online, the graphic will reflect a more accurate amount than the PayPal widget to the right.

Tax information: most cash donations should qualify for both a charitable contribution deduction AND the enterprise zone tax credit.With the enterprise zone tax credit the average family can receive approximately a $70 reduction in their taxes on a $100 donation. In other words, the actual cost of a $100 donation would be only $30 for the average family.
