The Rock the Blocks Fundraising Committee is excited to announce its Rock the Blocks Campaign to raise $85,000 to purchase and install new starting blocks at the Beede Center. The Rock the Blocks Fundraising Committee is operating under and as a part of Friends of CCHS Swimming and Diving.

The current starting blocks have deteriorated over time since their installation in 2006 and are unable to be repaired.

The new Myrtha starting platforms that we have selected to purchase and install, alleviate the current safety concerns. The anchoring system uses a deck-mounted plate, leaving them wobble free. The stainless steel removable tops allow for them to be resurfaced easily at some point in the future. Their larger size gives athletes more stability. Finally, they have the movable wedge and side handrail features for more powerful and competitive starts. Friends of CCHS Swimming and Diving will donate the blocks and installation as a gift to the Beede Center for use by all of their programming.

We are looking for gifts of all sizes. If you are interested in speaking to someone about your donation please feel free to reach out to Candace Root (candaceroot5@gmail.com, Geoff Lamont (lamontgn78@gmail.com), or Mike Hollywood (mah050675@gmail.com).

Thank you for your interest in making the Beede pool practices and meets a better experience for all who use it. Donations large and small will make a difference.

Please help us ROCK THE BLOCKS by donating today and help us reach our goal of $85,000!

Friends of CCHS Swimming and Diving, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

All monies raised beyond the goal will go towards maintenance of the new blocks and will be gifted to the Beede Center.
