Bonus Day! Our one-day fundraising challenge

Matched donations today up to 130%

Donate at this link

Today only our fundraising partner GlobalGiving is matching donations made to us at 30% and putting up two $1,000 prizes to those organizations raising the most and having the most donors. 

An anonymous donor is also challenging our community to spread the word about today by matching your donation 100% more if you share it on Facebook or by email afterwards. Just let us know you shared it by posting or commenting on our Facebook Page and your donation turns 130% more effective :) (230% if you work at a corporation that matches donations like Microsoft or Starbucks). There is $1,000 in the pool for this challenge and you don't need to share how much you donated if you don't want to as GlobalGiving will tell us the total.

The details

As we're now through our initial budget for buildout on the new gym space we thought this would be the perfect opportunity for you to spur the growth of the gym and tell us what we should build next! All of our operating costs are being covered by membership dues now so these donations will be going towards improvements of the gym space, our outreach programs, and ofsetting the costs of sponsorships to disadvantaged students (which we tend to always need to seek additional funding for apart from memberships)

On our priority list is the rock climbing wall, remodeling the bathrooms, and building out the community area / kitchen - what do you want to see next?

Help Parkour Visions with Poetry! (Yeah, really)

Hey, Parkour Visions students and friends! We need your poetical genius to help us win the CTK Foundation’s 2011 Heart and Soul Grant. Here’s how you can help:

Write a 4-8 line poem about Parkour Visions. It can be about how parkour has affected your life, about PKV classes and outreach, or about parkour in general. Email it to post@parkourvisions.posterous.com and we’ll pick one that we think will help us get the grant.

Submissions are due by 3/28, so get writing!
