STATE PARKS: PARK FUNDRAISER: Give something and get 
something when you help Texas State Parks ... we'll 
explain on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Business owners understand what it takes to keep the 
doors open. Our State park Guide Bryan Frazier tells us 
about a business that's raising funds to help Texas State 
Parks keep their gates open.

59 - For the second year in a row, Whole Earth Provision 
Company stores (and they have outdoor clothing and outdoor 
gear, and they have eight different stores in metropolitan areas 
all over Texas) of their initiative, they have agreed to make state 
parks the beneficiary of a fundraising drive for the entire month 
of April, for donations taken by cashiers when patrons check 
out. And, for every $20 donation that people make, they'll get a 
free five dollar gift card for anything that cash will buy: from 
fees or state park store merchandise. That's at Whole Earth 
Provision Company for the entire month of April. And then the 
13th & 14th, Whole Earth Provision Company is sponsor of the 
Banff Mountain Film Festival at the Paramount Theater in Austin. 
And all proceeds of the tickets of that film festival will benefit 
Texas State parks. This is the second year in a row that Whole 
Earth has offered this very generous donation and fund drive to 
help Texas State Parks.

Thanks, Bryan.
