It might be Bobcat’s birthday, but they are gifting big bucks to create vibrant and sustainable community park and recreation areas. In celebration of Bobcat Company’s 65th anniversary they are teaming up with the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) to invest in local parks. Through their partnership with NRPA, Bobcat will extend five grants, each worth $50,000, to support park improvement projects in designated communities throughout the U.S.
“Bobcat is committed to investing time and resources for the betterment of our world, and these grant opportunities align with our community building initiatives and focus on sustainability,” said Mike Ballweber, president of Doosan Bobcat North America. “We are humbled to support these efforts and serve as a catalyst for cultivating resilient communities throughout the U.S.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Bobcat to showcase the power of parks and recreation,” added Kristine Stratton, president and CEO of NRPA. “Park and recreation professionals are champions in addressing so many of our most pressing challenges and are key to building stronger, healthier and more vibrant communities.” To learn more about NRPA, visit nrpa.org
