Budget Request, Definitions, Salaries, Current & Future Needs all broken down
Current funding from certain groups support substance & violence free amongst youth & teens, but they don't provide or support funding to sports related organizations. Probably because most sport related organizations or groups are traditional (i.e. basketball, soccer etc.). Well.... a large group of kids/teens that are using substances are from groups that skateboard etc. There are highly leveled skateboarders etc. that use substances and those that don't use substances, & the kids or lower leveled skaters etc. look up to them all. There is very little incentive for those who choose not to use, & when they see those who are good at their skill use substances, they begin to follow the same path (not to mention attitudes, theft, lies etc.). We are loosing ground to substance use among youth/teens everyday. We provide an incentive, and have seen it work & work well. But without adequate funding & without our own facility it is hard to keep that incentive strong. It's like the gun game battle between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, one pulls out a weapon, the other pulls out a bigger weapon, then the other pull out an even bigger weapon and so on....... in the end Bugs puts a little cork in the barrel and stops the weapon from going off in the direction it was intended and backfires back to Sam. Sometimes its a little thing that can have a big impact. We face a similar battle with substance use & abuse. We can & will continue to have a strong approach to curving the use & abuse of substance & violence in youth/teens, but we need continued support, donations, & major funding to complete the tasks ahead. We are a diverse group and tend not to focus on only those at risk, but with a simple goal of developing leadership in others we can reach every area of at risk and not at risk people. We focus on the greater community, we are always learning & can learn from one another, build up our communities, & have some fun doing it too. Please support CSR - Community Sports & Recreation, be a part of it, take part in it, because CSR is not about 1 person or any 1 person, CSR is about all of us, our communities, one community.
(info based on years of 1 on 1 interaction with approx. 2000+ youth/teens twin cities wide)

CSR CREW Fund: - Sponsorships & Scholarships - $219,300 p/yr.
The Crew fund covers a large portion of youth & teens that CSR deals with within the extreme sports area. This fund is needed in order to support crew members for cost & half cost admission into skatepark facilities in which to practice their skills, and for them to help others in developing their skills. The CREW is a group of over 200 persons ranging in age from 7 & up, who participate in the extreme sports of aggressive inline, skateboarding, freestyle & bmx biking. The CSR CREW gives everyone a chance to be a part of a group, get a spotlight page on the website, & occasional group deals and outings regardless of their skill level. Our requirement is that the crew members try and help promote a better image of their sport by volunteering in their community or take part in volunteer/service projects such as park cleanup (especially the outdoor skateparks that they use), earn good grades in school & earn free skating days, quit using or abusing substances if they currently are (drugs, tobacco products, alcohol, & gang affiliations). More experienced crew members in skill take part in coaching & giving lessons to those in public or at select locations. Funds are used to pay way into skateparks for CSR DEMO & CSR DEMO FLOW, & or 1/2 payments to CSR DEMO FLOW and CSR CREW (gives the incentive to do better in school, do service projects or volunteer, or quit using substances if they are using). The Crew has limitless potential in helping youth & teens with a number of issues in which we've already made positive impacts such as, substance use & abuse quitting, school grade improvements, skills enhancement, self esteem, peer mediation, leadership, volunteering,

*** Total Funds Needed thus far: - $551,550 p/yr current needs
Costs not included in the total funds thus are are: Building purchase options, bus purchase option, bus insurance, or medical or comp insurance for employees. Goal for buses, 1 coach bus, 1 blue bird type school bus. Buses would go perfect with building purchase option 1 the best, and will fit #2 & 3.
Building Purchase Options & total after purchase options:
New Option - $2,500,000 total needed - 2 Bldg Option, 1 to support facility, & 2 for facility purchase option 1 mil.
Building 1 - $9,551,550 total needed - 92,000 sq. ft. bldg, 72,000 sq. ft. warehouse, Medina
Building 2 - $8,551,550 total needed - 120,000 sq. ft. bldg. 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse, E.P.
Building 3 - $5,551,550 total needed - 104,000 sq. ft. bldg. & warehouse (old sam's club), Burnsville

Building 5 - $4,551,550 total needed - 42,000 sq. ft. bldg. 35,000 sq. ft. warehouse, New Hope
All above costs include buying and building the facilities.
Goal at least 1 or 2 facilities in twin cities for CSR-Community Sports & Recreation, 4 buildings total around the metro. Goal is to own our own facilities to run our programs out of not to lease a facility in which you have higher overhead costs. We've been around since 1998 and is about time we move into a full facility of our own in which to operate out of, VS. using other facility times, trying to make deals with other facilities, this way CSR is in control of the operation and can set its own policies, because the way its done now we are not getting results that will strengthen our cause of leadership development, skills development, peer mediation, and help curving the use and abuse of substances & violence in youth/teens.
- Each Building purchased will include an education wing with classroom setting, computer facility, technology wing, recreation wing.
bldg. option 1-3 would support our goal of making a 20,000 sq. ft. facility for each of the 3 main extreme sports so that the 3 different activities have their own area to practice in. Ideally Bldg. #1 and #2 would be best, #3 as 3rd bldg. and #5 as 4th option.
We can accomplish our goal best with bldg. 1,2, or 3. but f needed the design of bldg #5 works the best.
Bldg. #1 is the best choice as it comes with a total of 17 acres of land for future development. - Has locker rooms
Bldg. #2 is good for its size and layout similar to bldg. #5 just larger. - Has locker rooms
Bldg. #3 is in a good location, and the size works as well as its a big open warehouse
Bldg. #4 is good in that the warehouse is one big open warehouse like bldg. #3 just in a smaller scale
Bldg. #5 is in a good location and a smaller scale of bldg. #2.
Each Bldg. has adequate office space & meeting room space. Bldg. #3 is the only bldg. not toured on the inside.
12 total funds totaling 551,550 or 9,551,550 with bldg. #1 as optional purchase.
