(CAÑON CITY, Colo.) — A charitable fund has announced a possible $1 million donation to go toward the construction of a community pool in Cañon City, but voters must first pass three ballot measures before the funds could be allocated. According to a press release from the Citizens for a Pool organization, the D.W. Biggerstaff Charitable Giving Fund has committed $1 million to support the construction of a new community swimming pool, so long as ballot measures 2A, 6A, and 6B pass.

The funds will go directly toward reducing the principal on the pool’s construction, helping to shorten the duration of the sales tax associated with the project. The donation will be made in memory of the late Darryl W. Biggerstaff, a beloved community member who passed away in 2005, to honor and expand his philanthropic efforts in Cañon City. "We are incredibly grateful for this significant contribution," said Randi Esquibel, President of Citizens for a Pool. "From the $150 raised by local children and their lemonade stand, to this remarkable $1 million dollars, the support we’ve received from our community has been overwhelming. This marks the official launch of our capital campaign, and after the election, we’ll be ramping up our efforts to see this project through to completion." If you are interested in donating to support the capital campaign, you can contact Citizens for a Pool at [email protected] or mail a check made payable to Citizens for a Pool to PO Box 133 Cañon City, CO 81215. Citizens for a Pool is a 501(c)(3) public charity, and capital campaign contributions will directly aid in the construction of this much-needed community facility.
