A great time was had by all at the recent GWL Skatepark Movie Night fundraiser held on Friday, July 30th 2021 at The Thomas P. Morahan Waterfront Park in GWL for a screening of the 80’s classic The Goonies. We were also supported by our friends at Avantoberfest, specialists in European cars, that provided an amazing show of classic and performance cars from the region and who donated all the funds they raised that evening to...
Once again Crystals of Quartz hosted a fantastic Psychic Faire and donated a portion of her proceeds to GWL Skatepark. So, not only did she provide Greenwood Lake with a fun experience and a chance to interact with healers, readers and vendors, but she also helped GWL Skatepark raise another $1,136 toward our goal. Thank you @crystalsofquartz (website) and thank you to all of her volunteers, including Dylan Cosgrove

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...
Volunteerism is a way for individuals and groups to make a specific contribution by generating well-being for people and their communities. We’ve been inspired by the number of people who have stepped forward to volunteer for the GWL Skatepark project during our early fundraising efforts. Today we’d like to highlight and thank in particular a special young volunteer whose singular efforts not only raised over $200 for the skatepark but also served to remind us that the youth of Greenwood Lake...

It’s been far too long since we posted about the many amazing events and good deeds that have been moving GWL Skatepark Corp closer to our fundraising goal. There were several events since our last posting in August, but we want to start by thanking Joe and Maureen Anthony of The Irish Whisper for planning, organizing and hosting the Lepre-con Pub Crawl back in September. 68 people attended and a number of local establishments participated by hosting the revelers. Participants were ferried...
