Foundations for the Future - Capital Campaign
- Fawver Center: The Fawver Center, built in 1978, needs remodeling. For many years the upper deck has been unusable because of deterioration. This center was named for Tilikum’s founding director, Gary Fawver. It’s has been the hub of activity for summer camp, rainy day activities, and our fall salmon bake. Partially due to the deteriorating conditions, the annual fundraiser (Potlatch) has been relocated to George Fox University’s Dining Center in Newberg.
- New Shop Facility: We will replace the current shop facility with a new shop complex in a better location away from guest access. Photos
- New Water System: Tilikum’s current water system has been in operation since 1997 and has continually provided clean water for our guests. In the busy summer months our water system occasionally didn't produce enough water for everyone and recently the state standards for water systems have changed. Tilikum is building a new water treatment facility to meet all the latest requirements and provide more capacity for our guests.
- Small Capital Improvements: We've designated resources for projects such as: a new zipline, new waterfront swimming dock, maintenance equipment and retreat center improvements (paint, carpet, furnishings and wood flooring).
- Operations and Capital Gifts: Normally each gift is designated 50% for the operations budget and 50% for capital improvement projects. Please let us know if you are interested in designating your gifts in a different manner.
Campaign Update
- Last year we had our annual Potlatch event on October 16th, 2010. We were blessed to have 213 guests join us for the "Foundations for the Future Campaign Phase II". We are pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2011, we now have more than $236,000 committed toward the "Foundations for the Future" Campaign. We are excited to be at this point in the process and we'll continue fundraising efforts in this final year of the three year campaign.
