Pay It Forward Stories 2020

This year we decided to split up the $500 donation, $250 was donated to (MSA) Montana Skate Park Association and the other $250 was donated to (BHA) Backcountry Hunters & Anglers.

MSA is a professional organization that provides support, consulting and funding for Montana communities who are looking to expand their recreational opportunities for skateboarders. They're a 100% volunteer non profit and every dollar that comes into their organization is spent on building skateparks and skateboarding communities.

BHA is a non profit organization that seeks to ensure North America's outdoor heritage of hunting and fishing. BHA is a nonpartisan group of sportsmen and -women who are standing up for these places and for the outdoor opportunities they represent.

I gave my Pay It Forward Card to James Clarke, Kalispell, Montana, who is an artist by trade and whom became gravely ill with last stage of COPD. He has a lot of expenses with no health insurance. He is using this card to create gifts for his family to have after he dies. He said, "These gifts are all I have to give my family." He is very thankful to Washington Companies and to myself to receive the Pay It Forward card.

Donated to counterpoint inc. they are a non profit in Livingston MT that care for adults with developmental disabilities. The card was used to purchase PPE for counterpoint staff and clients. It was originally going to be used for a bowling party but due to corona it was shifted to purchase items to keep our clients and staff safe. We were able to later divert funds to have a bowling party when it is safe to do so.

I chose to support the Puyallup Washington Food Bank. They will use the money for everything from stocking the shelves with nutritious meals to essential household items needed for everyday life. the food bank was being hit harder than ever during the COVID pandemic due to many people being laid off temporarily or permanently. I especially wanted to help those who had there careers ripped out from beneath there feet at no fault of there own.

Update to my story. The bow I purchased with the gift card was auctioned off at the Breast Cancer fundraiser and made $3200.00. It is so awesome that we turned $500.00 into $3200.00 donation.

With all of the turmoil right now causing extra costs, I just felt that Seattle Children's Hospital could use the donation.

Counterpoint Inc. provides an array of services to adults with disabilities in Park County, Montana. We used the card to purchase personal protective equipment for our staff who work closely supporting our clients.

I want to apologize for not submitting this information by June 15, 2020.

We sincerely appreciate your support!

I would donate the money to an animal rescue. A lot of animal rescues rely on other forms of income to supply the animals they care for with sufficient care and to feed and house them.

I would like to help in what ways I can.
