KYRO Rink Hopes to Open in August

The Coeur d'Alene Press is reporting that the KYRO Ice Rink is hoping to re-open in August, however they still need $480,000 in donations in order to meet that deadline.   

"The gap we have to close is $480,000," said Matthew Beam, KYRO manager.  The fundraising goal to open the facility began at $800,000. While there's still work to be done to meet it, the group is keeping its hopes up. It is still pursuing grants, fundraising events, and making the rounds to local groups to spread the word. It's also added a fundraising option on its website, www.kyro.org, for support.   Additionally, a naming-rights deal from a sponsor on the building may be announced soon, but the nonprofit still needs community support.  Read more here.

Who should sponsor the building and what should they name it?
