Eric Nelson Donates $10,000 to Park Ridge Community Fund!

You’ll be excited to learn about the wonderfully generous promise and subsequent gift from a young man here in Park Ridge.

Eric Nelson, owner of Nelson Automotive (www.heycars.com), a Maine South grad and board member of the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce, promised last month:

If the Park Ridge Community Fund raises up to $5,000 -- he would match whatever we raised! But, to our delight and surprise, he matched $10,000!

So many important causes ask for your support these days, but a gift to Park Ridge Community Fund will not only make a difference – it will make a difference right here at home. For more than half a century, through good times and bad, local business owners and residents like you have generously helped the Park Ridge Community Fund protect the well being of our community. With one convenient gift, you help a wide array of service organizations and care providers make life better, neighbor to neighbor.

The Park Ridge Community Fund is a locally-run 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Your one gift supports local charities and non-profit organizations that provide rehabilitation, health care education, safe emergency housing and care for women and their children; support for the sick and their families; services to help seniors stay engaged and healthy, and activities to provide wholesome outlets for kids and teens. And that’s just the beginning!

To learn more about the many services your gift makes possible and to donate safely online, please visit www.PRCommunityFund.org.

And help a lot of nice people (including yourself) have a happier new year!
