We need your help, and we need it quickly.
On September 24, 2019, the Donald & Alice Noble Foundation, which has been so very generous in financially supporting the ice arena for the past 17 years, made known their plans to turn the ice arena over to the Wooster City Schools. The school district plans to remove the ice and repurpose the building, which will include a turfed field facility. In response to the outpouring of dismay at the prospect of closing the rink, however, the Noble Foundation has given us the opportunity to come up with a plan to save the rink. With $150,000 of pledged donations for the next three years the Noble Foundation will consider keeping the ice. We have until by December 1, 2019 to show our commitment.
Losing the Ice Arena would be a huge loss for Wooster, Wayne County, and the surrounding communities.
