BIG NEWS! Tonight at approximately 6:00pm we completed our Fairmont Park Disc Golf Course Fairway Sponsorship Campaign! We have now raised all of the necessary funds, plus some, to have Riley County Parks begin ordering equipment.

The donor team that locked up the final Half Fairway spot was Shaun & Kristine Chambers, with Darian Thomas, by making a $250 donation this evening.

Thanks again to all who found a way to make a donation, approached potential sponsors, or simply helped pass the word about our fundraising project.

If you missed out helping with this stage of the project, don't worry, there will be plenty of workdays where you'll have another chance to help make this project a reality.

Thanks again,

p.s. If you know of a sponsor that still wants in, the only option is a "$125 main sign only" level.
