July 2024 Update: The Gates are Open! Help us finish strong!
We're in the homestretch, folks! If we can raise $12,000, then OORC can finish paying our legal debt for re-opening French Creek Road to the public, leaving enough in the bank to continue our important work keeping public roads and waters in the public domain. (OORC is 100% volunteer and all funds go to covering legal fees).
Blue Star Coffee and two anonymous donors have generously stepped up to offer a $3,000 challenge to kick off the last chapter of this story. Every dollar donated will be matched 1:1 up to $3,000. Let's do this! See below for prizes:
1st Prize: First Donation of $2000 and up wins a 1/2 day guided fishing trip, courtesy of Methow Fishing Adventures + a goody box filled with coffee and other delights, courtesy of Blue Star Coffee Roasters.
2nd Prize: The first 5 donations of $200 or more win a limited edition Okanogan Open Roads T-shirt and a bag of Blue Star Coffee.
3rd Prize: The first 20 donations of $50 or more win a limited edition Okanogan Open Roads bumper sticker and a coffee drink of their choice, courtesy of Blue Star Coffee Roasters.
Protect your freedoms and your access to our spectacular public lands and waterways, for yourselves and for generations to come. We’ve proven that with persistence and help from folks who can and are willing to chip in, we can win for the public against corporate interests.
