Eqpt Donations Help Renovate Denver Park
Denver's Green Valley Ranch East Park was revitalized on July 21, 2021, through a Community Impact Project coordinated by The Toro Co. Foundation. Volunteers from local rental businesses teamed up with the Denver Parks and Recreation department to renovate baseball, softball, and mixed-use fields, paint backstops, repair fencing, and make improvements to park landscaping.
The daylong project was led by eleven Denver-area companies and their employees, who offered rental expertise, equipment, and labor. Volunteers from Colorado rental businesses and manufacturers included:
- All Purpose Rental & Sales, Greeley
- Arvada Rent-Alls, Arvada
- Aspen Rent-All, Basalt
- Chair Rental, Sheridan
- Ditch Witch of the Rockies, Commerce City
- Best Rental, Fort Collins
- Quipli, Colorado Springs
- Rusty Rental, Frederick
- L.L. Johnson Distributing Company, Denver
- Ventrac, Denver
- Wanco, Arvada
The effort was made possible through volunteered time and equipment donations from local rental companies, as well as a $20,000 donation from the ARA Foundation and The Toro Co. Foundation.
The Community Impact Program involves both foundations partnering with local nonprofit organizations to coordinate community service projects across the country. The dual-purpose program allows those in the rental industry an opportunity to give back to their community, as well as build public awareness and demonstrate the advantages of rental.
Restoration efforts at Green Valley Ranch East Park was the second in a series of Community Impact Projects. The inaugural event benefitted the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio (BGCNEO) in June. Two additional projects are planned for 2021.
