Feel the Love Easy Ways to Continue to Support Seminole 2.1
Dear Seminole Families,
Love is in the air—and so are some exciting opportunities to show a little love to Seminole this spring! With warmer days on the horizon, we hope you’ve had a chance to renew your membership for what we expect to be the last summer with our beloved 26.5-meter pool. While the Seminole 2.1 Committee continues planning for construction in fall 2026, we’re keeping the momentum (and the fun!) going with several easy, delicious fundraising opportunities and special events over the next few months. Mark your calendars and help support Seminole!

Online Silent Auction – Mid-May
Our online silent auction is returning, and we’d love your help making it amazing. If you have an item—or even an idea—for a donation (auction or raffle), please reach out to carleenh@seminole26-5.org. Tickets, experiences, services, lessons, collectibles, gift cards—think outside the box!
More Easy Ways to Support Seminole 2.1
Please consider signing up for Raise Right, which allows a portion of your regular spending—gas, groceries, clothing, dining, and even travel—to support Seminole 2.1 at no additional cost to you. It’s quick to sign up, easy to use, and the impact truly adds up: one diligent Seminole family raised over $500 in the past year alone! If more of us participate, the collective impact could be huge.
Additionally, if you have the option to donate Thrivent Choice Dollars, we’re happy to share that—thanks to a member request—the 26.5 Foundation is now an eligible recipient. This is another simple way to show your love for Seminole!
As always, it’s not too late to send your donations or place a pledge. We still need to raise more funds in order to move forward with the bathhouse phase of the construction. This is the year to make it happen.
If you have fundraising ideas, want to get involved, or have connections to contractors or vendors who could support the bathhouse phase, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at carleenh@seminole26-5.org.
Lastly, don’t forget to follow @seminole.prez on Instagram or “Seminole Prez” on Facebook for updates or a quick smile or laugh as we progress to our ground breaking goal!
Swimmingly,
Seminole 2.1 Committee
