Billings TrailNet has received a donation of $10,000 toward its fundraising goal of $120,000, from Vision Net, a business-to-business telecom company.
Billings TrailNet must raise $120,000 annually to continue their work to promote a complete, community-wide trail system. TrailNet ordinarily hosts its annual Ales for Trails fundraiser during late summer, but social distancing requirements have curtailed plans for the event this year.
The recent donation from Vision Net kicks off Billings TrailNet’s Virtual Ales for Trails event, where the group hopes to raise $60,000 from a city-wide radio-a-thon on Tuesday.
The radio-a-thon will include 10 radio stations participating to raise money for trails that day. People can text their donations to 406-412-2223 and prizes will be raffled every hour of the radio-a-thon that day.
