Help Complete Phase II for the Whitewater Park in Sioux Falls

As some of you know, our organization is currently working on Phase II of the whitewater park in Sioux Falls. We have a few plans to get Phase II completed but we need our supporters help. One of the best ways for you to help is to go through our siouxfallswhitewaterpark@hotmail.com. website when making online purchases for the holiday season. There is no cost to you and you shop at your normal stores websites. You just need to go to http://siouxempirepaddlers.org/advertisers/ click the banner of the website you want to shop, make a purchase and we get a donation. I know it is a couple more steps to do your online shopping but you will also be donating to make the whitewater park possible. We ran some numbers and we figured if roughly each person that likes our page (supporters of the whitewater park) made a small $35.00 purchase online five times a year we would have Phase II complete!  To the average online shopper $175.00 a year online is not hard to do. This may seem impossible but if supporters tell friends and family to purchase more than $35.00 ($175.00 a year) online, we can make this goal! Help spread this information to everyone you know. We would rather do it this way than wait several years for cash donations from our supporters!

If you have questions or ideas to make this easier for our supporters please let us know at info@siouxempirepaddlers.org.

100% of donation profits go to Sioux Falls Whitewater Park 501(c)3 organization!
