| Feedback from our last fundraising project: | ||
"It was great to be able to assist the Outsiders with the Sherwood Forest disc golf course. They proved to be a very wise and dedicated group showing great stewardship of their contributors hard earned money. They were able to make efficient use of their funds to make the course happen within their budget. I sincerely appreciate their hard work for the betterment of our community!" Steve Visconti, General Manager | Chico Area Recreation and Parks District |

| Every dollar you donate is worth twice the donated amount! | ||
| In January of 2010 the Chico City Council voted unanimously to match up to $52,000 in funds for Project 32. Every dollar you donate by purchasing goods, becoming a member, sponsoring a hole, or just making a small contribution is now valued at twice the donated amount. | ||
| Why donate? | ||
| The Outsiders worked hard on behalf of all park users when we led the effort to restore disc golf to Bidwell Park. Chico's City Council has approved the project conditionally. One of the conditions is that some entity manage and maintain the highway 32 site for recreation. The Outsiders have stepped forward to do this. This site has been used for decades by the public, and is truly a public asset. Thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds have spent time playing disc golf in Bidwell Park. In this beautiful park setting friendships have been forged and young people have grown older, and wiser. It's time to give back. We need the help from our business community, and from individual donors, to create a well managed public space for future Chicoans to enjoy. |
