Donation Opportunities
Letter from the President
Okeeheelee BMX is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Over the past 30 years we have thrived on the help of our volunteers and generous donations. In 2018, Okeeheelee BMX was awarded top 5 track in the country, #1 track in the East and #1 Track in Florida (For the tenth time) by USA BMX. We are overachievers and we want to do better every year
We are constantly trying to improve the experience that riders and families have at our track. In addition to the changes you have seen recently, we would also like to add permanent shade and fans to our hill and build a permanent structure for our office and bathrooms. Many of our goals are lofty and, in some cases, expensive. We need your help. We purposefully keep our practice and race fees as low as possible to continue to make BMX affordable to all families.
This is where you, our parents, families, tradesmen, and local business come in. Helping can come in many forms. Volunteering at the track on practice or race nights is one inexpensive way.
Though the almighty dollar is nice, often times what we need is people who can get things done. Sometimes we may need an electrician or A/C repair, maybe a skid steer operator, roofer, IT person or a person with contacts in the media. We don’t know who you are. If there is an area you think you can help us, please let us know.
For those who don’t wish to volunteer during practice or racing, a donation (yes this is a shameless hand out-stretched) is another way you can help. We are a 501(c)3 organization. All your donations are tax deductible.
In closing, remember every one of us at the track is a volunteer. Take inventory of your resources. If there is a way to help us through volunteering, sponsorship or donation anything you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Kraatz
President, Okeeheelee BMX Parents Council, Inc.
