Our Mission
The Friends of the Fox Point Pool is a 501c3 non-profit that was formed in March of 2024 and officially started fundraising in June of 2024.
Our mission is to raise the funding needed to save the permanently closed Fox Point Pool and reopen it as an inclusive and ADA accessible aquatics facility and community gathering space in Fox Point, WI to help strengthen community fellowship, promote swimming and water safety skills, and encourage physical and mental wellbeing within our community.
