FINISHING IT FOR MADDIE Brick Campaign

On February 9, 2015, Bluegrass Swim Team lost their team captain, Maddie Jackson, in a car wreck on Versailles Road in Woodford Country while she was on her way to swim practice.  Maddie’s life exemplified the characteristics that we hope to inspire in all of our athletes:  kindness, compassion, diligence, courage, perseverance, selflessness, competitiveness and a willingness to share her faith.  Bluegrass is committed to finishing what she started.  To do this, we are purchasing in full the pool facility located at 730 Millpond Road and will be naming it the MADDIE JACKSON AQUATIC CENTER in her name.  It is our hope that every child and adult that walks through the doors will be positively influenced similar to the impact Maddie’s life had on others.

By making this purchase, we can continue her legacy by continuing to develop competitive swimmers through our USA Swimming team, to teach youth to swim through our learn-to-swim programs, to provide recreational swim programs in the community, and to encourage adults to swim through our Masters swim program.   The facility will not only boast an Olympic-size six-lane pool that will operate year-round, but will also include a training room for seminars, video review, parent education meetings, social activities, and so much more. 

 This FINISHING IT FOR MADDIE campaign will lay the foundation for years and years of exciting and beneficial programs for youth and adults in the Central Kentucky area.  Each brick purchased will be prominently displayed in the Aquatics Facility on the main wall that will literally cement your place in history and make tribute to an outstanding young lady who positively impacted so many in our community.

 Recognize a friend, hero, or relative that has meant the world to you; memorialize a fallen loved one who played a significant role in shaping who you are today; commemorate a special occasion in someone’s life; or promote your business or a cause that is dear to your heart.  By supporting this campaign, you are making the difference in the future.
