From an incredible weekend to a heartbreaking reality.First and foremost, what an AMAZING weekend. After years of dreaming, planning, building, setbacks, and more blood, sweat, and tears than we can count, we finally got to see curlers throwing rocks on our very own ice. The laughter, excitement, camaraderie, and overwhelming support made every difficult moment along the way feel worth it.
Unfortunately, the excitement of the weekend was followed by something absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating.
Our curling club was broken into.
The individuals spent several hours inside our facility, going through drawers, rummaging through our belongings, making a mess, eating our food, and drinking. As upsetting and violating as that is, the worst part is that tens of thousands of dollars' worth of tools were stolen from our back room. Not to mention our iPads, speakers, and other athletic equipment.
As a nonprofit already facing significant financial challenges, this is a heartbreaking blow to our entire curling family.
Irving police have collected fingerprints and DNA evidence, and we have surveillance footage of the individuals.
Please keep an eye out on Facebook Marketplace and other resale sites for suspicious tool listings. Many will have the word "bling" on them. If you have information, please contact us.
We’ve worked too hard and come too far to let this defeat us.
