We Need Your Help

Help Build a Community Ice Rink in the Columbia River Gorge

The Columbia Gorge has long needed a dedicated ice facility—one that supports competitive sport development, recreation, community connection, and regional vitality.

Thanks to the hard work of our board of directors we have secured a contract for a site in Hood River County. With this critical first step complete, we are now raising the funds needed to move from vision to reality and bring a community ice facility to life in the Gorge.
