The future

Founders of Cape Arena

The campaign to build the permanent, covered arena at Gull Crest. Raise the Roof was chapter one: it launched our capital fundraising, and every dollar of it counts toward the Founders goal of $7 million. Now that the project has cleared permitting and grown into a fully phased construction plan, the campaign has grown with it.

Phase 1 is funded, but through a construction loan: every dollar raised now directly reduces the debt the rink takes on, and Phases 2 through 4 still need to be funded. No construction phase begins without its funding in hand.

Founder levels run from Contributing Founder at $500 to Diamond Founder at $100,000, with monthly and quarterly options. Every Founder becomes part of the arena’s permanent story.
