Union of Youth

Members of the Northfield Skateboard Coalition received a check for $10,000 from the Northfield Healthy Community Initiative (HCI) on Wednesday April 23rd. Skateboard Coalition members and HCI Board members celebrated the donation following the Coalition’s weekly meeting at The Key.

In October, HCI had agreed to match, dollar-for-dollar, any money the Coalition raised from October 15, 2007, to April 1, 2008, up to $10,000. The Coalition met its $10,000 goal and, thus, received the full $10,000 donation from HCI.

With the HCI donation, the youth in the Skateboard Coalition have now raised nearly $30,000 to contribute to the construction of a skateboard plaza in Northfield.
