Moving Forward with Sioux Falls Whitewater Park

**Notice: We know there is a duplicate post on our blog but someone on Facebook reported us as spam/offensive, so we were not able to share this post on Facebook with anyone. So we made a new blog post about our future plans and will spread that post

Sioux Falls Whitewater Park just completed phase I for the park. We are now heading to Phase II which includes modeling, designs, and river studies by engineers. These professional services have a significant price tag on them so we decided to think outside the box for fundraising. We wanted to do fundraising that would cost the general public little as possible. Hope this option we have chosen will benefit us all the way through Phase IV.

Phase I: Site Reconnaissance

Feasibility Study

Phase II: Alternative Analysis

Decide on Site Location

Conceptual Design

Site Inventory and Assessment

Hydrology

Hydraulic Analyses

50% Preliminary Design and Alternatives

Phase III: 50% Design and Permitting

Permitting

50% Design

Phase IV: Implementation

Develop Bid Package

Negotiating Bids with Contractors

Construction of Park

Phase V: Park and Play

Use the park and have FUN!!

So without further ado, here is one of our many ideas to help fund the whitewater park in Sioux Falls South Dakota.

Sioux Falls Whitewater Park is glad to announce a new partnership with a local LLC company to help raise funds for our Kayaking for Kids Program, Whitewater Park Program, and general operating expenses.

Our new partner is using a page on our website  as an Amazon shopping site.  In return for letting them use a page from our website, the LLC will be paying our website annual fees, advertising our website, and donating 90% of their profits to the Sioux Falls Whitewater Park Organization. Donations will be split into three categories: 66% goes towards the Whitewater Park Program, 21% will go towards our Kayaking for Kids Program, and the remaining 13% will go towards our general funds (pool sessions, river cleanups, fundraising events, organization fees, trips, scholarship program, training, and miscellaneous costs). The LLC is planning on using the remaining 10% profits for paddling sports, paddling education, river stewardship, and donating to other entities related to paddling and the local waterways in the Sioux Falls area.

How does the organization get funds? Well when people use our webpage shopping page and they order items off Amazon; the LLC in return gets a percentage of the purchase you make.  There are no added fees for you. The revenue comes from Amazon sellers fees. So you can buy the same items but from our page. Our page will be advertising mostly paddling items but any item you buy will get us a percentage donated to our organization.

Two ways you can help donate money to Sioux Falls Whitewater Park by making your normal Amazon purchases.

One – Go to our webpage and load up your shopping cart and make your purchases.

Two – Shop from this link https://www.amazon.com/gp/gw/ajax/s.html/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=siofalwhipar-20&linkId=ZS42TK32LFXKTA5O (you can add this to your favorites and shop from this link every

time you order on Amazon. Each order will make a donation to our organization)

Remember you can buy any item or service off Amazon and it will help our organization. Birthdays? Christmas? Halloween? Anything!

Please help spread the word. We want this whitewater park as soon as possible. Help launch our dream of a whitewater park.

Thank you for your support and enjoy shopping with Amazon.
