Skateboard Park Update One Week In...


Progress at the park as of this morning

So here we are, one week into the construction of the new concrete bowl at the Hampton skateboard park and four months into the planning and fundraising process. I've been lurking at the construction site daily and I'm stoked on both what is being built and who is building it! I'm also happy to report that every event we've held has been a success and we are moving toward our (Friends of the Hampton Skatepark) $25,000 goal! After the KB's event Saturday night, which was epic, the benefit night at Flatbread, the Basketball Shoot out, and the BRICKS we've raised about $20,000! I'm very impressed and so stoked on all the support!!!!


That leaves us with about $5,000 additional dollars to raise and while we do have an event in the works we're really relying on the "BUY A BRICK" fundraiser to get us to where we need to be. As of 6.13.11 we've sold about 50 bricks and that's AMAZING but I know there are more of you out there who are willing to support the cause and we need it now more than ever. So if you've been thinking about buying a brick or you know someone who has, now is the time, please! HERE is a printable version of the "BUY A BRICK" flyer if you can't make it to the shop to pick one up. Checks can be made payable to Hampton Recreation Department/Bowl and can be sent here to the shop or to the address found on the flyer. Please call with any questions and please share this with anyone you think may want to help.

Tomorrow's photos will include Concrete!!!!! They're pouring some trann

BUY A BRICK!!!
