Generous Holiday Giving to Create Shade for Area Children

Generosity during the holiday season is carrying momentum for The Friends of the Soda Springs City Park in their efforts to fundraise money for shade structures at the Maverik Caribou CommUNITY Playground. N.A. Degerstrom generously donated $1,000 towards constructing custom shade structures at the playground, among other community support projects this holiday season. At the time the donation was made to the shade structures project the company was also wrapping up efforts to gather toys for the community. Collectively their company employees donated more than $2,500 in gifts for area children! This was their first year doing this type of fundraiser and they will proudly turn over the toys to the Caribou County Sheriff’s Department to be distributed to those in need prior to Christmas. Regarding both donation efforts, N.A. Degerstrom Project Manager Casey Lee said, “We just love supporting the amenities in our local communities that help people thrive and enjoy living here and making this home base for themselves. So anything we can do to continue to help this community, we are happy to participate.” 

Greg and Irene Torgesen also generously donated money towards the shade structures project. “We were happy to donate $500 to the Soda Springs community park to help with the shade covers over some of the equipment and rubber surfacing. This will make the park so much more enjoyable and safe in the summer!” Additional donations have been received by several anonymous donors as well. Every dollar donated is so greatly appreciated! 

The Friends are inviting the community to consider making a tax deductible donation to their 501c3 organization to support their mission of creating shaded play areas at the community playground. To make a donation simply reach out to Laura Lind 208-604-0885 or Alana Burns 702-581-8371.
