FSA EXCITING NEWS!

Last week, FSA was awarded a matching grant for the replacement of our playground equipment. This is an amazing opportunity! There are two problems:

1) The grant period ends on October 31, 2022

2) We only have enough ($60,000) to replace two structures with one larger playscape

This is an unprecedented opportunity for us to stretch our fundraising dollars. Without this grant, replacing even one structure would have taken at least two more years. With your help and a little luck, we can replace it all this year. 

Yes, these are lofty goals. But what do we have to lose? We will replace as much as we can with whatever we raise between now and Monday, October 31. 

We recognize that not everyone will be able to contribute monetarily right now. We encourage you to get involved in other ways and help us rebuild our FSA fund with the return of the Raven's Run (10/4) and Poker Night (2/16). To thank you all in advance, we will not be charging for admission to this year's Trunk or Treat (10/21). 

Businesses can contribute here. 

Individuals (or combine forces with a group!) can contribute here.

We will announce new, once-in-a-lifetime incentives weekly!

See our video.
