We’d...
Our efforts are now reaching as far as San Fransisco! Thanks so much to DLXSF for helping us reach the followers of your brands (close to 42,000 of them on FB!) … helping us reach more skaters/riders in even more states like this will certainly help us reach our fundraising goal sooner than later.

It was a busy week for GWL Skatepark Corp. leading up to Easter, starting with a celebratory ribbon-cutting at the newly installed sign in CVS field marking the location for the future GWL Skatepark in Memory of Dale Hirrel. Many local residents and business owners attended the momentous event for our effort, and News 12’s Blaise Gomez aired a nice clip, giving GWL Skatepark Corp. the added publicity we really need. The sign serves as a point-of-reference for...
Today Blaise Gomez from News 12 Hudson Valley visited Greenwood Lake with her cameraman to interview the GWL Skatepark crew and get the details of our exciting project!

We hope this kind of publicity will...

We’ve had our first public appearance, when our veep, Kurk Koziel, and I were invited to appear on the Greenwood Lake Radio show Friday morning, July 14th 2017 on WTBQ. The host of the show, Kevin Sweeney, and his guest co-host Padrick O’Donnel asked many poignant questions, and Kurk and I gave our best “college try” to send the message out that we’ve hit the ground running and we’re going to get this skatepark built. With any luck, we’ll be able to catch...
