Dear Friends,

I am about to head out on a huge journey, and I am hoping to raise funds for a cause that is near and dear me- the Skyhigh Adventure Center (SHAC). I bought this former school and church two years ago with a dream of creating a space where community members of all ages can gather to stay healthy, active, and engaged. The SHAC already hosts programs like youth tennis and yoga and non-profit offices including the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance. This is possible thanks to generous donations from people like you that have allowed us to make vital improvements to the facility which had been a state of neglect for years. When fully operational, the SHAC will house a daycare, educational and fitness classes for all ages, and a variety of programming to engage individuals and families. More work needs to be done, and I’m asking for your help to make it happen.

I am embarking on a 2200 mile journey along the Appalachian Trail that will start on February 25 at Springer Mt., GA. I will be flipping to Mount Katahdin, Maine in August. I hope to finish at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia by October 15. Each mile that I hike will be dedicated to raising money to help the SHAC serve all members of the Averill Park Community.

My goal is to raise $25,000 from both per-mile and set donations. For example:

0.01 = $22: Happy Wanderer

0.05 = $110: Weekend Trekker

0.10 = $220: Backpacker

0.50 = $1100: Overnighter

1.00 = $2200: Trailblazer

Every donation helps me reach my goal. Along the way I will be keeping you updated on my journey, with special shout-outs to sponsors. Please give what you can to help me, my family, and friends make the SHAC a reality! Thank you!

Be Well,

John

Hello Community Members,

My name is Wolfgang Balga and I am a boy scout from troop 2526 out of Averill Park.  I am organizing the construction of a pavilion to be built at the Sky High Adventure Community Center.

By donating to this project, you are helping to provide the community with a great outside area for activities, whether it be a for a nice place to meet outside during the summer, a stage for a concert or other performances, or even a pic-nic.  This pavilion is a must for everything that goes on at the community center.

If we reach our goal it will cover the costs for the foundation of the pavilion which we hope to finish by the fall.

Thank you for looking into the project, and we appreciate anything you are willing to contribute.
