📊 Cady Way Project: 2025 Impact & Progress Highlights
Thanks to the Winter Park community’s incredible support, 2025 has been a year of real momentum for the Cady Way Revitalization Project—and we’re excited to share what you’ve helped make possible.
Here’s what we’ve accomplished together so far:
📊 2025 Impact & Progress Highlights
Orlando Health secured and publicly announced as our official presenting sponsor, bringing long-term credibility, financial stability, and strong alignment with our mission of health, safety, and wellness.
More than 100 new individual and corporate donors joined the project this year, significantly expanding our supporter base and strengthening long-term sustainability.
Over $800,000 raised in new funding, bringing us meaningfully closer to completing all stages of the project.
Grant support secured from seven nonprofit organizations, strengthening our coalition around swim safety, public health, and equitable community access.
Three smaller fundraising events held, collectively raising more than $24,000 to support the project.
Featured in numerous local and regional news outlets, including Fox 35, Spectrum News 13, Channel 6, and Winter Park Magazine, increasing public awareness and community engagement.
Multiple in-kind donations secured, reducing overall project costs through donated goods, services, and professional expertise.

Official pool blueprints received, finalizing the design for the new 50-meter aquatic facility.
A 1950s-era aircraft donated for Stage 3, adding a meaningful historical and educational element to the expanded green space.
Free swim lesson program launched, directly advancing drowning prevention and equitable access to life-saving skills.
Cady Way Family Magazine published its first issue, creating an online publication dedicated to:
– Share ongoing project updates

And perhaps most exciting (so far), we’ve officially broken ground on the beach volleyball courts—our first visible sign of construction at Cady Way.
👉 We can’t wait to celebrate with you at the grand opening event for the courts—more details coming soon!

Every one of these milestones is the direct result of community belief and support. What began as a vision is now visibly taking shape, and we are firmly moving from planning into action.
We are deeply grateful to each of you for being part of this journey. Thank you for helping us create a facility—and a community space—that will serve generations to come.
