Spirit of Discovey Park

In February of 2016, the vision of creating a 100% accessible amusement park, complete with rides and attractions, an ice rink and roof top green house was triggered by a conversation that struck up in the middle of a local store.  After hearing the excitement in a friends voice about a place her family had just visited for vacation, the now President of this 501©3 non profit organization, made one phone call, then another and the process was rolling!  Within the past year, hurdles have been overcome including:

Developed an LLC.
Retrieved an EIN.
Completed the 1st fundraising campaign via goFundme.com.
Developed a Board of Directors, one member at a time.
Applied for 501©3 status with the IRS.
Resubmitted 3 rounds of changes for the 501©3.
Received the 501©3 approval (in only 6 months).
Interviewed economic and feasibility study companies.
Executed the 2nd fundraising $4000 in 4 campaign.
Determined our consultant for the project.
Created a 2-minute animation video.
Launched a website.

The Board of Directors, with the help of their Advisors and selected volunteers, have been diligently moving forward with

Finalizing and perfecting the business plan.
Continuing to add to our Advisory Board.
Filling a few positions on our Board of Directors.
Planning 2 Annual fundraising events.
Producing the 3rd fundraising kick-starter campaign.  
Finalizing the scope of the feasibility and economic study.

We are off to a momentous start to 2017 and all thanks go to those who have been supporting us financially, personally and spiritually, on this short yet successful journey!  As a wise person once told us, it just takes a bunch of people pulling on the same rope!
