Centier Bank has donated $25,000 to support the Community Foundation of Elkhart County and Beacon Health System’s joint project to build a premier health, fitness, aquatics and community center in Downtown Elkhart.
The donation will support the development of the 6,000 square-foot community center, which will include a public atrium, meeting spaces, gymnasium, library and an outdoor patio overlooking the river.
The approximately 170,000 building will be home to Beacon Health and Fitness, the Elkhart Community Schools swimming and aquatic programs, Elkhart United Aquatics, Bethel College and other local and regional swim competitions. The plan is to host championship events in swimming and regional and state high school competitions.
Elkhart Health and Aquatics will be open to the public in July 2019. Discounted memberships for Beacon Health and Fitness can be purchased up to the July opening either online at www.ElkhartHealthandAquatics.org, by phone at 574.389.5580, or at the onsite membership trailer located at 200 East Jackson Blvd. in Elkhart.
