Help Fund the Cornwall Fences

Have you given yet? If not, there is still an opportunity to do so by 4/24.
Although we’ve reached our initial goal for the fences, we are now raising funds for needed fence top safety capping!
Thank you to one and all who have donated so far! This is a legacy for the Cornwall courts!

Please give today to help put us over the top.
All contributions will be matched by a generous donor!
Any surplus would go to additional needed court area improvements.

Let’s do this!
THANK YOU from the BPC governing board!
(And please share with friends, family, colleagues, & businesses.)

FAQs

Q: Why the cost spread of $11,000-$16,000?
A: Because it depends on how many fences we can fund.  Also, bear in mind that projects done through governmental agencies are more expensive than projects done by private entities.

Q: Where will the fences go?
A. Click on the “sketch” above for the order of fencing priorities. The 3rd priority fences are to create a safe spectator and staging area, and uniform court spacing.

Q: What happens if we raise more than the needed amount?
A: If there is a surplus, it would be held in an account designated for other needed court area improvements, (e.g. fence safety caps/pads, etc.)  This would be great!

Q: Will BPC publicly recognize donors?
A: Yes, however all donors will be offered the option to remain anonymous if they wish!

Q. Can I share this funding request with friends, colleagues, and businesses?
A. Yes, please do. All efforts are appreciated!

Q. What is the Foundation’s non-profit EIN number, so that I can link my tax-deductible donation with a contribution from my financial institution?
A. 91-1503600
