This year, the Montana Skatepark Association is taking part in a fundraising effort called Missoula Gives, which is a 26-hour online celebration of the Missoula and Ravalli communities. It connects generous Missoulians and Bitterrooters with the causes they care about (aka: skateboarding!). Over the years, we have watched this fundraiser come and go, and have never managed to throw our hat in the ring. But this year, we’re in!

The MSA is hoping to raise (at least) $5000 during this event so we can continue our work of building free, concrete skateparks in our communities. As the feeding frenzy of giving happens on May 6-7, we will be calling attention to our efforts on social media, via our email list and any other method we can drum up. Any help you can provide to our efforts, we’d be most appreciative.

Here are some ways you can help:
