WHY SHOULD YOUR BUSINESS SUPPORT RUFFNER?
People love public green spaces a lot. In fact, visitors to Ruffner Mountain have doubled to 75,000 and each of these 75,000 visitors spends an average of 4-5 hours in Ruffner per visit.
And while having more visitors leads to a more vibrant community, funding for the associated costs of maintenance, safety, and operations is limited, difficult, and decreasing.
We need businesses to increase giving by $250,000 through corporate support.
