Secured ISK 11 million in merely two days for the restoration project of Reykjadalur Swimming Pool

Revised Article:

In a whirlwind of community spirit, over 11 million kronur has been poured into a crowdfunding campaign for a much-needed facelift of the revered Reykjadalur swimming pool. This beloved spot, nestled in the heart of Iceland, has been playing host to the Paralympic and Disabled Support Association's summer camps for over six decades. With the pool being the lifeblood of these memorable events, its urgent maintenance needs are a top priority.

The Support Association made a bold move, launching the fundraising drive the very eve of Iceland's summer solstice, with an initial goal of amassing 10 million ISK for critical repairs. It didn't take long before the crowds swooped in, whipping the pot to a staggering 11 million ISK in just two days, shattering the initial goal with sheer force of communal solidarity.

Eyes on loftier ambitions, the association declared, "But we haven't stopped there yet." They aim to bring in a whopping 20 million ISK to cover not just repairs, but upgrades that would make this warm refuge even more accessible and safe for their valued guests.

The association's heart swelled with gratitude, calling the outpouring of support a robust demonstration of unity. "This shows what we can accomplish when we stand together," they affirmed.

The fundraising campaign remains open for contributions, and everyone is urged to lend their support through sofnun.reykjadalur.is.
