Support Markham Park Trails: Donate for New Equipment

David Schmidt is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Markham Park Trail Fund Inc..

Tax deductible

The Markham Park Trail Fund, Inc. is looking to purchase a new stand-on mini track loader to replace our beloved but rapidly aging Toro Dingo. The old Dingo has given us many great years of service, but the repair bills to keep her going are mounting. So, it is time to retire the old girl and get a new replacement. After shopping all the available models and taking a few out for test drives, we have narrowed our search down to the Ditch Witch SK800. The price tag comes out to $36,000.

The trail crew has been mostly funded by the annual race events, including the Bad Habit and Rumble in the Jungle MTB races. For over a decade, the XC racers and local businesses have been the ones that have given the most to the Markham Park Trail Fund, Inc. So, the goal of this fundraising campaign is to reach out to the everyday Markham Park mountain bike trail riders that aren't interested in racing but still have a way to donate. We have over $15,000 in the bank after the last race and are looking to raise the rest of the money here. We have a lot of projects to restore and improve the trails, and having this machine at the trail crew's disposal is invaluable.
