Thank you to all of our supporters that helped us receive the Dick’s Sporting Goods – Sports Matter grant! With your help, we received over $7600 to offset the cost of our 2014-2015 program. We are currently planning our upcoming season, so if you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for our newsletter!
Shred Love is now taking part of Dick’s Sporting Goods’ Sports Matter Crowdfunding Initiative. Our goal is to raise a total of $7000 to fund our upcoming season’s transportation cost and to replace some of our gear. In order to receive the full donation of $7000, we need to fundraise $3500 on our own. To date, we still need to raise an additional $3075. Please join us in this initiative and make a donation on our Sports Matter page and spread the word! If we don’t raise $3075 by Friday, May 23 6pm EST, we won’t receive any of the funds raised. Its truly a matter of all or nothing matter. So please consider making a donation and spreading the word to help us keep our Learn to Ride snowboard program free to its participants.
As always, thank you for supporting us! It is with your continued support we are able to serve more deserving youth through snowboarding.
Regards,
Liz
Our dinner at Soul Flavors on Wednesday, October 20th was a success! The sold event raised money for our 2011 programs and operations, enabling us to serve more youth. The packed house was filled with participants (new and returning) and their parents, volunteers, mentors, teen mentors, and supporters of Shred Love. So let’s start with our raffle winners:
Netta & our first winner, Monica
Mrs. Fowlkes with her winnings!
The only guy to win, Rob (he's also one of our new mentors!)
Dr. Coleman won a gift card to Soul Flavors
And since all of our young attendees walked away with gift bags, I’ll waste no time in sharing more pictures from the evening.
Our volunteer Darlene and her son, Adam... yeah he's a rider!
Our future Betties: Natalie & Monique
Our guests
Assemblyman Charles Mainor & our Founder, Liz
