50 Days to Raise $50,000 with a Matching Donation Opportunity!

We are so excited to announce a matching donation opportunity for the “Growing Up Chester” Capital Campaign to expand and renovate the Chalet!

An anonymous donor has pledged a $50,000 donation to Chester Bowl- if it can be matched with community donations by January 15th! That gives us 50 days to raise $50,000. With the support of our Chester Bowl community, we know we can do it! If you have been considering donating to Growing Up Chester and an expanded Chalet for the next generation, there is no better time to do so than right now.

We have raised $3,250,000 towards a project that is estimated at $3,850,000- we are 85% funded! This match campaign will be a big part of raising that final $600,000 needed to fully fund our vision for an expanded and renovated Chalet.

We need your help to maximize this donation- will you give now to support the Chalet? Donating now DOUBLES the impact of your donation. This match period intentionally extends into 2025 so you can choose do donate in either (or both!) years to maximize your tax benefits.

You can donate online by clicking the green “DONATE TODAY” button on the right side bar. You can also mail checks made out to “Chester Bowl” to 1801 East Skyline Parkway, Duluth MN 55812. Thank you for helping us meet this match!
