Lots of love and over $18,000 raised
On September 16th, the AV Skatepark Project hosted its first Fall Fling community fundraising event at the Anderson Valley Brewing Company -- and it was a smash success!
Through entry ticket sales, donated proceeds from food and beverage sales, raffle ticket sales, silent auction purchases, live auction purchases and donations, the event raised $18,000 for the AV Skatepark Project.
In addition to being a successful fundraiser, the event generated a beautiful sense of cross-generational community connection and unity around the mission to improve recreation resources for AV youth. Thank you to everyone who took the time to come out!
THANK YOUS

Businesses
Over forty businesses -- mostly from throughout Mendocino County -- have donated resources to support the event. This event would not be possible without the generous support of these businesses, via donated items for the raffle and live auction, in-kind donations (such as facility use, table rental and graphic design) and donated proceeds from sales at the event. THANK YOU to this wonderful community for coming forward to support the cause!
