Skate park fundraiser a big success

Bay Skate & Bike Park Foundation (BSBP) would like to thank everyone that sponsored, supported, and/or attended the first BSBP Rib Rockin' Raffle on May 22. The fundraiser was a huge success, not only monetarily, but in bringing the community together. Nine teams competed for the title of Rib Rockin' Champ. Hog Wild Grillers and Salmon Cinco Brothers tied for 1st place, Almost Summer won 2nd place, and Clete's Good Neighbor Ribs won 3rd place.

With full stomachs, attendees enjoyed the rockin' music of Jim Brewer's band, Hipnotic Dog. Thanks to John Underation, Rhonda and Clete Schneider, Jacquline Stang, Diane Goldfarb, the Lufkin family and other members of the planning committee, BSBP raised $23,000 in one evening!

This event brings the foundation's totals to within striking distance of fulfilling its complete capital fundraising goals, with only a few city meetings remaining before final approval.

To see what your children and/or grandchildren have to look forward to, join us on Monday, June 7, at the Bay Village City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. at Bay Village City Hall where final site plans will be shared. Visit BSBP.org for details.
