Year end goal reached and surpassed. Every year we are blown away by the continuous growth of support from our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your time, consideration and support. We couldn't sustain this without your constant surprising and generous support. #clearbychristmas $10K challenge met
2020 and beyondLooking forward we will be asking the ACRB to double their committed support and hope to leverage all toward more grants and support regionally. The Laramie City Council and parks department is beginning planning toward park improvement funds through the specific purpose tax (6th penny) currently being collected. We look forward to pursuing a match of up to $100K from that funding source, this spring.
We also hope to begin the contracting process so that, once funding is found we will be riding in 2022. 4x the park for your $Happy December Skatepark Supporters, Tomorrow Morning (Dec. 3rd/Giving Tuesday) at 6 am (Mountain Time) we have a special opportunity to quadrupled your donation. Starting at 6. A.M. Facebook will be matching the first $7M donated through their “Giving Tuesday Fundraiser” I have set up a fundraiser for our 501c3 Friends of Community Recreation which will go into the Skatepark project fund . Set you alarm! If you are able to make your donation within Facebook’s $7m cap your funds will be matched by Facebook and then also by the Wyoming Community Foundation’s $4k match. A donation of $25 would mean $100 toward the park. $1000 would be $4000 etc. As an added incentive if we can hit $60K in funds ($10K to go) before Dec 15th, we will be shoveling the entire skatepark for Christmas! That’s just $4000 in donations if we can take full advantage of both matching opportunities! Boys and Girls with new holiday toys will have a snow free park to try them out. If you have already made a commitment of funds this is a great way to multiply your December donation. If you have yet to make a commitment there’s no better time. Thanks so much for your time, consideration and commitment Josh |
