Seeking a Blackstone Valley Non-Profit Recipient

The UniBank Blackstone River Valley Greenway Challenge Steering Committee is seeking a Blackstone Valley non-profit organization to be the Charitable Recipient of the 2012 Greenway Challenge. School Groups, clubs holding a 501(c)3 status are also considered as non-profit organizations. The mission of the non-profit organization must be similar to that of the UniBank Blackstone River Valley Greenway Challenge; which includes promoting the recreational opportunities in the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, supporting the 2015 Swimmable-Fishable clean water campaign; clean-up and maintenance of greenways, hiking and biking trails, wild life projects, environmental education and development of waterway access.

Last year the Greenway Challenge Steering Committee presented a check to the Blackstone River Watershed Association for $2,500.00. If you think your organization could benefit from a contribution from this year’s Greenway Challenge and if your organization is able to host a transition site on the day of the event, send a letter of no more than two pages outlining what your mission is and how your organization would use the funds.

A representative from your organization should be prepared to be involved in the pre-planning of the event by attending the monthly Logistics Committee meetings, two Captain’s Meetings and the Friday Night Festivities in September, be prepared to discuss your transition site and answer participants questions regarding the course, coordinate your organizations commitment as a transition site host on the day of the event.

Please include your organizations name and the contact persons name, address, and day-time phone numbers, website URL, along with your e-mail address to Barbara Dixon, Greenway Challenge, One Depot Square, Woonsocket, RI 02895 by May 1, 2012.
