On March 5th American Whitewater presented Friendsville Mayor Spencer Schlosnagle with a check for $14,100, the total amount donated to our web site during the past month. Add pledges and money sent directly to the town the total is just over $18,000. Additionally, Brian Jacobson, a paddler who is also a licensed Maryland engineer, is donating services valued at over $15,000. This project marks a big step in the growing partnership between AW and the small town that has become the gateway to the Upper Youghiogheny River. It's the perfect way for river runners to show appreciation for the town's work to protect the summer release program. If your gift was part of this total, thank you! If not, there's still time! See the fundraising page for complete info.
