Bobcat Company has kicked off a nationwide contest offering one community a $100,000 park makeover. The Bobcat Park and Rec Makeover Contest aims to inspire communities to rejuvenate their local parks.
To launch the contest, Bobcat teamed up with brand ambassador Chip Gaines for a ballpark renovation in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Gaines, known for his show "Fixer Upper," and Bobcat volunteers transformed a local ballfield, underscoring the importance of community sports and outdoor activities.
“I grew up playing ball at local parks, and now, my boys have too. Spending time outside and being involved in community sports is such a big part of our family’s life, which makes me thrilled to partner with Bobcat here in Waco to renovate a local ballpark as they launch their national contest,” Gaines said. “It’s projects like this that really bring a community together, today but also decades down the road.”
The contest is open to U.S. communities with a ready-to-go park project. Funds can be used for renovating or creating park facilities to meet local needs.
Bobcat has a history of supporting community projects and partners with the National Recreation and Park Association for this initiative. For contest details and entry, visit bobcat.com by Aug. 16, 2024.
