A large check was given over the fertile grounds dedicated to Lincoln’s forthcoming South Haymarket Skatepark.
After local thrashers raised about $8,000 for the project this summer at a fundraiser concert party, the Lincoln Skatepark Association (LSA) decided to round that up to 5-digits for the group’s first major contribution to help build a new state-of-the-art skate facility near 7th and “N” Street.
“We had an amazing event, and we actually ended up raising more money than we thought we would,” LSA President Phil Burcher told KLIN News. “We’re really excited to raise more money from here. $10,000 is our start, and we hope to raise a $1,000,000 because we’re crazy and think we can do it.”
