Palisades MTB Fund Raiser

What is legal, local singletrack worth to you?
We're looking to raise $8500.
Fellow enthusiasts,
A lot has happened sincewe founded this Chapter just over a year ago:
- We secured permission to construct a Mountain Bike Loop in Blauvelt State Park. The trail is now at a point where we can consider it complete and ready to ride! Succeeding in this project opens the door for more access.
- We’ve been awarded an IMBA Trail Care Crew visit for early fall; more details to come.
- Lots of work completed in Sterling Forest with the NY NJ Trail Conference this summer. We're getting close to a 4 mile point-to-point trail being complete.
- Several other proposals are in the works!
We have basically been funding this effort out of pocket and with some help from our closest friends. It is now time to raise some funds so that we can continue our advocacy work in Rockland, Bergen & Orange Counties.
Our goal of $8500 will be used to pay for some of our 2015 costs and cover the following expenses:
IMBA Chapter membership for 2016:
Membership has given us access to the legal, political and organizational advice we’ve needed in preparing our proposals. Annual Chapter membership is $500 and worth every penny.
Insurance coverage for 2016:
Not very exciting, but necessary to play ball. Annual Insurance is $1100.
Proposals to state, county & town agencies:
We have presented our proposals using professionally produced binders and sign boards. A typical Proposal is about $200.
Chainsaw Safety Training:
6 of us took a 16 hour course to become certified for power tool use in the State Parks. The course cost $1200.
Trail building tools & supplies:
We've been getting by with help from individuals and our friends at JORBA, but it's time to make some purchases of our own. These tools will be used by the club to build, repair & maintain sustainable singletrack in our area.
We have received a generous donation (valued at $1500) of premium custom made pint glasses to be used as thank you gifts. All donors will receive this set of 3 glasses, whether that donation is five bucks or five thousand.
