If you have schools in your area that you're looking to build a rapport with, let them know that they can apply for grants at www.rollerskating.com/grants.
The Foundation provides up to $18,000 in grants every year to schools to introduce their students to the joy of roller skating. Rinks that are connected to the grants are notified and provided with a sample check PDF and press release that they can edit and send to their local printer, create a photo op, and then submit to their local media. It's not only a fantastic way to build connections with your local schools, but it's also a great way to share with your local media the work you are doing in your local communities.
We encourage you to apply for grants at www.rollerskating.com/grants by February 1 or September 1.
