Hello,
My name is Jared Flynn and I'm one of many Floridians who loves playing hockey with my friends and family. Recently, my friends and I have decided that it would be nice to build a synthetic ice rink that could be enjoyed for years to come, by friends and family. We've been on a team together for about 5 years now, and we can't wait to continue playing together for years to come. We strive to have a great time on the ice and keep play fair. We love having our families at the rink to support us and always share laughs throughout the seasons together. We believe it's important to put family first, and sometimes that means we can't afford to provide ourselves the opportunity to do some of the things we love, like playing hockey with our family. The costs of ice in Florida are very high and unfortunately, so is the price of having a family. We want to bring synthetic ice to our families and friends and allow them to find a way to find leisure with each other, and do something they love at the same time, for free. As a contributor, you're helping those of us with families the ability to truly enjoy the game we love so much, with the people we couldn't live without. Although it seems like a less worthy cause than many other things, only 1 dollar from people could help us greatly and would truly help us in these trying times.
Synthetic Ice rinks can be pretty expensive, bu they are definitely the cheaper alternative to a full size ice rink, which can run up in the millions. A full size synthetic ice rink would cost 177,000; we're only asking for 15,000 which would be a 40'x20' playing rink. Although it doesn't seem like much, it would mean the world to all involved. The most important thing we can stress is that this money will be going to each family and person who uses the rink. Not only does it benefit us, but it will benefit other people as well. If we don't raise the full 15,000 we will be putting the money we did raise towards the project, no matter what. We only ask $1.00 per person.
This project may not be valuable to the world as a whole, but for the individuals and families involved, it would mean the world. No more paying ridiculous ice costs per person for a night of family fun at the rink. Our team is tied in with our family, and this cause is very close to our hearts. We would appreciate any help that anyone could offer. Imagine cutting your costs in half, or more than half? Ready to contribute yet? Even if you live outside of Florida, your contribution could make a difference, and there are perks for donating.
We understand that money is tight and that no everyone can contribute. If you can't contribute we just ask you to pass our campaign along to your friends. To reach our goal, we would ony need 15,000 people to donate 1 dollar. Some people just can’t contribute, but that doesn’t mean they can’t help us by spreading the word and helping us find those who can.
Please help us provide our families and friends with this synthetic ice rink!
