Skatepark Raises $50,000 in Direct Mail Campaign!
50K-3
The St. Helena Skatepark board of directors continues to be overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of our community. Our recent direct mail campaign raised $50,000. Since fundraising began, we’ve raised over $630,000 of our $750,000 goal. 249 donors have contributed from $10 to $150,000 and we appreciate each and every donation (Professional & Individual). We couldn’t do it without you!

Volunteers remain busy while the City reviews our plans prior to Planning Commission and City Council review. Volunteers include: Jon Webb and Albion Surveys, Inc., Jack Chandler who is working with us and the City to develop the landscape design; Don Westerland of Centric Builders and Andy Simpson of Delta Engineering who are reviewing and fine tuning the construction documents so that we may accommodate the many donations of materials and services offered; and Sue Pillsbury is busy typing thank you letters to all of our generous donors.

If you haven’t donated, but would like to – please contact us at P.O. Box 1, St. Helena or through our Make A Dontation web page. We hope to break ground this spring and look forward to seeing everyone at our opening day ceremony. We’ll be skating and hope you’ll join us by Getting on Board!
