What, or who, is Nantucket ice?
Nantucket Ice is a non-profit organization with a 501 (c) 3 designation, founded in 1995 by a group of local residents whose mission is to build and endow the first year-round community skating rink on Nantucket Island. The purpose of this facility is to promote a healthy recreational environment where Nantucket children, adults and families can gather to enjoy the sport of ice-skating and develop a strong sense of community. The rink will be a multi-purpose facility, providing a healthy recreational alternative, for people of all ages, especially our youth and families. The Nantucket Ice facility will be built on a 4-acre parcel of property located at 26 First Way and within walking distance from all public schools. This is a critical time in our campaign. The organization has set a goal to raise a total of $5.5 million to meet the construction costs of the project, which will include the facility, the access road, and all studies and surveys that may be required.
