Anonymous donor helps to keep pool open

Officials with The NDC Trotwood YMCA said a financial donation from an anonymous donor will help keep the city’s pool open.

Gayle Horton, the YMCA’s executive director for Community Development, said without the $40,000 donation, the city’s pool, which is located on the campus of the United Theological Seminary att 4501 Denlinger Road, would have closed.

The donation is coming from the deceased donor’s estate.

A community pool consistently on the chopping block will remain open after an anonymous donation.

The YMCA of Greater Dayton was able to secure a $40,000 donation to help Trotwood and the YMCA keep the pool despite financial difficulties running and operating the pool.

“We were shocked,” said Gayle Horton, Community Executive Director for the YMCA of Greater Dayton. “This donor had given us money in the past in certain amounts. We had met about a month ago and they assured us of the gift.”
