Help Build the North Carolina Gaters’ Practice Facility

The Gaters wish to add an 18,000 sq.ft. addition on the back of the new Spears Family YMCA with a separate Gaters entrance and signage. The facility would include two 94 foot regulation courts, two offices and conference area and locker rooms. The Conference area would be available for SAT study courses and academic enrichment. The facility agreement would allow use of the two existing courts.  The YMCA and the Gaters would enter into a long term agreement and share the space. The Gaters would have additional gym space during our peak season and the YMCA would benefit during their peak season. The YMCA would be responsible for all utilities and maintenance. The Gaters would also employ through the YMCA a small staff of coaches to provide individual and team skill development. We have an immediate need for space with ages 9U-13U, during December through March.

OUR GOAL IS $500,000.00

How can I get involved?

Donations are made payable to the “Spears Family YMCA” and are tax-deductible. Donations of $25,000 or more can be divided over a four year period. Naming rights available for the addition, name outside on building. Gaters would retain rights in the naming process. $150,000, Each Gymnasium is $100,000. Locker rooms are $35,000 each (total of four), Offices each $25,000 and Conference room $40,000.

We would like to begin building early next year. Please call Vic Sapp @ 919-967-4639, Billy Britt @ 336-855-9207, John Lewis @ 336-424-3356, or Phil Kleinman @ 336-851-0568.
