Outfitting 180 girls with one-piece or tankini swim suits is challenging for Excelsior. Donations are welcome to assist in this endeavor. We anticipate each suit will cost $25 per girl (or more). Additionally, we're hoping to supply board shorts and t-shirts as cover ups at $25 per girl. Pool toys, kick boards, goggles and other aquatic items are also needed. Credit card donations are accepted on-line or by calling Kathy 303-693-1550x226. Thank you!

EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL!

Excelsior's long awaited swimming pool and teen center are now OPEN! Many thanks to everyone who made it possible.

What began as the dream of our former Executive Director, Bill Gregory, comes to fruition 35 years later. Mr. Bill was always a strong advocate for a campus swimming pool. We owe a debt of gratitude to:

Ware Malcomb -Leading Design for Commercial Real Estate. The folks at Ware Malcomb (led by Jim Williams) donated their architectural talents. They designed the actual building and pool.

Design Workshop - Making the Places that Bring People Together With Land. Of course, no project is complete without landscaping. Matt Landis and the team at Design Workshop are developing a plan to enhance the surroundings of the Recreation Center with beautiful trees and greenery.

Saddleback Design - Luke Waugh is lending interior design services for the Teen Center and soliciting vendors to donate flooring, counter tops, cabinets and tiling.

Thank you!

Kudos to the EYC Teen Center Committee: Arnie Goldstein, Vicki Sicard, Sheila Stanley, Elaine Atwater, Mike Walters, Brynn Robles and Vivian Zlobec.
