Help BD Soccer Replace Stolen Equipment (UPDATE)
Tax deductible
UPDATE: OUR CUB CADET HAS BEEN LOCATED
The IMPD has informed me that they have located the Cub Cadet UTV at a local pawn shop. They are doing their due diligence and will notify us as to when we can come by and pick it up. So we are lowering the goal and shifting focus of this fundraiser to help pay for the other pieces of equipment that were taken (tools) and to fix and upgrade our Storage Shelter's security features to make it more secure from theft.
-------------------------------------------
Last night thieves broke in and stole one of our biggest assets, the Cub Cadet Utility Vehicle.
It has been used to ferry grandparents to the fields to watch their grandkids play.
It has been used to help a coach recovering from a major medical issue to and from the fields in order for him to coach his team.
It has been a huge asset for our team of volunteers in the layout and preparation of our fields before, during and after each soccer season. As anyone who has ever helped knows, laying out and maintaining the fields is a lot of man hours and a lot of equipment to move around a large area of land.
3 years ago, after a lot of hard work by the volunteers of this organization we were finally able to afford the vehicle. It has become one of our biggest assets and last night people who knew what they were doing came with tools meant to break into our metal storage unit and took our workhorse.
New these vehicles start around $10,000. We are looking to get a quality used one for our club, which we have found are generally around $5,000+
Thank you for your donation or share. We're here to serve the community and without the community we serve, we wouldn't be here.
Thank you,
