Such a great idea and so like you to give back. God bless you brother!As you all well know parking can be a issue at times in the U.P. when going sledding, and a lot of places are starting to charge daily fees for that parking. We just purchased 3 acres in Greenland last summer and we've removed trees, leveled it, and graveled it. We put over $20,000 into this parking with snowmobilers in mind. Here's my idea and I want to call it parking for a cause. If any of you have input please feel free to post it. My plan is to put a donation can on the counter at Pat's Motorsports and label it parking for a cause. I thought we could collect donations and each month give them to a different non-profit or cause. Maybe churches, cancer association, elderly in need, and such things that may be happening during a critical time for people. I thought this way sledders would feel like they're supporting a great cause and ultimately feel good about giving for the daily spot. What do you all think? I'm pretty excited about it!!
Posting a goal may be the drive to donate more generously for sure!Excellent idea Kip. Perhaps you could make a sign with a "goal" clearly stated, include current amount raised. Once you reach your goal, start a new one with a new "cause" ..... each season your dealership should post a sign of how much sledders have donated. Our car Club has raised over 35k for VA center and local hospice, by our participants in our shows.....over last 26 years!
when and how much is the tough decision but the fact you are doing this is beyond honorable, I agree with Kirk600, pick out some charities/causes and post a goal, any amount makes a difference but by posting a goal it may get you there sooner and make a big difference, instead of just having a place to park.Yes, sounds like a nice cause for sure. Anything with our veterans is always a positive. I'll do that kirk600. I was thinking of donating it monthly but I could just do a bigger donation at the end of each winter too and just have one cause per winter. Still trying to figure out the best way to go. Otherwise it would most likely be smaller donations each month to different causes.
