SUPPORTING THE FRIENDS OF GREEN LANE PARK

THE STORY: “Now that you're here, the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear. UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.” ~ Dr Seuss.
 

HELP US SUPPORT GREEN LANE PARK! GOALS Adventure Racingsupporting charitable organizations since our inception in 2003. As a non-profit organization  Association has been ourselves, we understand and value the importance of charitable work. This year we have put our focus on giving back to the environment. How often have you hiked on trails, paddled waterways, biked in beautiful parks and forests? Even if you’ve ever done it once in your entire life, try to imagine the work it takes to keep our open space land protected.

HELP US “GIVE BACK” TO THE ENVIRONMENT BY RAISING FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE FRIENDS OF GREEN LANE PARK . This grass roots, volunteer organization helps to keep the park beautiful with trail maintenance and various environmental projects. No donation is too small, but the big ones are even better!

1.  You are giving back to the environment by directly supporting the park.
2.  You are helping yourself by raising funds to allow you to race for free.
3.  You will be educating the public about adventure racing and about environmental awareness as these questions will often be asked when you approach someone for aid. It’s a great way to spread news about both these topics.
