Stronghold Society's WK4-Directions Skatepark Kickstarter *skateboards are on sale now
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/311033507/stronghold-societys-wk4-directions-skatepark
Completion of the Toby Eagle Bull Memorial WK4-Directions Skatepark for the Lakota youth on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
Purpose
The skatepark is almost done and we need a final fundraising push to complete the skatepark this year!
Through this Kickstarter program, we are now raising the funds necessary to complete the The WK 4-Directions Toby Eaglebull Memorial Skatepark on the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota and positively impact the community with a place for the local youth to thrive. The remaining skatepark expansion area is all dirt and the high plains winds are blowing it into the skatepark creating a dust bowl effect and creating unsafe conditions for the skaters.
With your help, we can finish the park and contribute to a shared vision of a vital community skatepark for the Lakota youth. Contribute today so that we can do it!
Upon reaching the $70,000 Kickstarter goal, we'll complete PHASE 2 (illustrated below) of the park and hold a grand opening skate contest and ceremony for skateboarders, families and supporters. Anything above and beyond the goal will go toward our "stretch goal" which is development and completion of PHASE 3, which requires an additional $35,000 or $105,000 in total funding.

1. Jeff has to play it in Cincy show while I sing backup onstage for Ed
2. The guys have to sign it at my house about 30 min north of Cincy, sign some of my PJ albums and stuff, and hang out around my fire pit chillin out
3. They have to repeatedly give shouts out to me during the Cincy show for the bootleg
4. Give me and my wife all access passes to the Cincy show
What do you think? Should I add anything else?? \:D/
