A BIG HUGE thanks to The American Legion for a donation of $1000 and Noah Cashman, our esteemed city council member, for $750!!! The $1000 was pending and included in the total before but the $750 was not. I will not say we have gone over, but will say that things look good at the moment. We still have some pending donations, meaning we are on the cusp. So keep donating and help these kids get their skatepark!! Another update.

I expect our P.O. Box to be flooded with checks!! Oh, and even after the challenge grant is over on April 1st, we still hope people will contribute to the Skateboard Coalition fund. Who knows what the final expense will be for the park and the more we raise, the better the park. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED!
