The Sun Prairie Skate Park is making headlines again!

In a recent issue of the Sun Prairie Star (sunprairiestar.com), you may have noticed that there was a story about our fund raising efforts – including a donation from Culver’s of Sun Prairie’s recent 10% night. That night, Culver’s donated 10% of all sales to the SPSP! It ended up being a whopping $355.95. The SPSPC would like to thank the Culver’s of Sun Prairie and the Sun Prairie community for coming out in HUGE numbers!
