A big thank you to our Ninth Annual St. Paddy's Day 5K Walk/Run New Pot of Gold Sponsor, Gregson Construction !

Today’s beautiful golf weather is the perfect time to highlight our Ninth Annual St. Paddy's Day 5K Walk/Run Rainbow Sponsors, Acorns Golf Links and the Mandy Ebeler Foundation. The Acorns family have long been supporters of our mission to bring a community pool back to Waterloo. Now they have set up a foundation that honors Mandy through lifting up these underfunded sports and the local youth that compete in them. It’s a beautiful memorial, we are so honored to be aligned with the Mandy Ebeler Foundation. Take a moment and like and follow their page.
