Paying It Forward

Paying It Forward

Monday, May 2, 2011 - 06:35

For several years the Beaver State Fling crew has organized and executed a top-notch National Tour event.  With a dedicated team and a lot of hard work, we have gradually built our event into one of the most well regarded events on the PDGA National Tour.  This year we wanted to take it up yet another step, so we contacted Innova Champion Discs about the possibility of working with them on additional sponsorship possibilities.  It was at that time that Innova generously offered the Beaver State Fling exclusive access to the Pre-release Prototype Archon to use as an event fundraiser disc, and if that was not enough, Disc Golf Values also agreed to help us retail these discs through their website.  To say we were excited by this opportunity is an understatement.  We were ecstatic!!!

We also knew that we did not want to take this money and simply throw it into the payout.  Both Innova and the Beaver State Fling crew agreed we needed to do something special with the money.  We wanted to do something that would not only add to the prestige of the event, but would also have a long lasting impact on the course itself.  With that objective in mind, we shot ideas back and forth until we came up with a plan to use the lion’s share of the money to completely refurbish all thirty-six baskets at Milo McIver State Park where the Beaver State Fling is held every year.  Not only will we be replacing all of the older, shallow basket trays with new, deep-dish trays, but we will also be replacing any old rusty chain sets with new chains.  To top that off, over these months leading up to the event, we will also be having all thirty-six baskets stripped, sand-blasted and powder coated.  When we're all done, we will effectively have thirty-six new baskets at Milo McIver State Park.  The Beaver State Fling crew is very excited to know that when we are done with our event we will have made an improvement to our course that will benefit players for years to come.

We would like to thank Innova Champion Discs, Disc Golf Values, Stumptown Disc Golf and all of the players who purchased the Beaver State Fling Pre-release Archon for helping make this happen.

Sincerely,
The Beaver State Fling Crew
