This beloved local landmark has been part of our community for over 20 years. We are raising funds to secure the deposit required by our bank so we can purchase the rink and keep it the same place families, kids, and skating lovers have known for decades.
The owner has multiple offers on the table. They prefer to sell to us, but this is a first-funded race: whoever has the funds ready by the deadline gets the rink.
Funding deadline: December 1, 2026. Internal refund-review date: November 26, 2026 (not the final deadline), so processing can begin before the purchase deadline if the campaign clearly cannot close. Ownership/business-name transfer target: January 1, 2027.
Funds need to be secured by December 1, 2026 so we can enter the December transition period with the current owners. During December, Matthew will learn the operating process, supplier contacts, daily procedures, equipment routines, customer flow, and everything needed to keep Rock-N-Roller running smoothly. The planned ownership and business-name transfer date is January 1, 2027.
Current starting commitment includes $12,000 in owner funds already saved and ready to be applied toward the purchase.

Our Story
A Community Treasure
Rock-N-Roller Rink has been a cornerstone of our community for over two decades. When families moved to this area, the rink was already here — a place where kids grew up, birthdays were celebrated, and friendships were formed on wheels. This is more than a business. It is a landmark.
Why We Need You
We are working to secure the purchase of Rock-N-Roller Rink and need to raise the required bank deposit to move forward with our loan. We are actively competing with other buyers, and if we have the funds by the deadline, the rink is ours. Every dollar contributed helps us close first and keep the rink exactly what the community already knows and loves.
What Happens Next
Once the deposit goal is reached, we move immediately to close the loan and complete the purchase. Our first and highest facility priority is installing a NEW FLOOR, followed by sound system upgrades, birthday package improvements, and new community event nights.
Your Investment Matters
Any funding amount of $10,000 or more is handled as major supporter / investor funding, not a standard small donation. Major supporters can participate in a percentage of future profits until their funding amount is paid back in full, but only under a signed written agreement. Repayments are planned to begin no earlier than February 2027 after ownership transition and initial operations setup. The first repayment is considered made only when the payout has fully cleared the investor's bank.
Inside The Rink
These approved photos show the actual facility spaces we are working to preserve and improve, including the skating floor, rink layout, lighting, walls, and overall atmosphere. We are showing the real rink because trust matters — this campaign is tied to a real local business, a real deadline, and a real purchase effort.
Why the photos are here: online fundraisers get abused by scammers all the time. These images are included so supporters can see the actual rink, verify this is not a fake story, and understand exactly what their contribution is helping preserve.

Support The Fundraiser
Every contribution, large or small, gets us closer to securing this purchase before competing buyers and keeping Rock-N-Roller Rink the same rink this community has known for 20+ years. Donations under $10,000 must be submitted through the verified donor form below before PayPal opens. For $10,000+ investment discussions, contact us directly.
Verified mode is enabled: donations under $10,000 require donor info validation, server intent creation, and an intent-tagged PayPal checkout. Funding of $10,000+ is treated as investor funding and routed to bank transfer instructions only.
Disclaimer: Major supporter / investor terms, repayment percentages, repayment start timing (target February 2027), repayment priority order, and repayment-clearance rules are finalized only through a signed written agreement. Standard donations do not include profit share or repayment rights.
Refund Policy: December 1, 2026 is the final funding deadline. November 26, 2026 is an internal refund-review date so processing can begin before the deadline if the campaign clearly cannot close. The ownership/business-name transfer target remains January 1, 2027. Refund amounts are net of PayPal and bank fees incurred.
🏦 Bank Transfer Details
For $10,000+ major supporter / investor funding, do not use the public PayPal donation checkout. Contact us first so documentation, refund handling, transfer instructions, and the written profit-share agreement can be handled correctly.
For investments of $10,000 or more we do not publish bank details publicly. Please email MFIT-NM@outlook.com to receive secure bank transfer instructions and investor agreement paperwork.
Major donations require direct coordination for documentation and refund handling before funds are finalized.
After completing your transfer, please email the transfer confirmation and your contact details so we can issue a formal receipt and investor agreement.
If the required funds are not collected by the December 1, 2026 deadline and the purchase cannot move forward, contributions will be refunded minus any PayPal, bank, payment processing, or transaction fees that cannot be recovered. November 26, 2026 is the internal refund-review date so refund processing can begin before the final deadline if it becomes clear the campaign cannot close.
Are donations tax deductible?
No — not at this time. This campaign is a private effort to purchase and preserve Rock-N-Roller Rink, not a qualified nonprofit or 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Supporters should not treat contributions through this page as tax-deductible charitable donations.
If a qualified nonprofit structure is created later, that will be stated clearly and separately. Until then, assume it is not tax deductible.
Is this a guaranteed investment?
Standard donations are not investments. For anyone funding $10,000 or more, this is handled differently: major supporters can receive a percentage of future profits until their funding amount is paid back in full, but only under a signed written agreement. Repayments are planned to begin no earlier than February 2027 after the ownership transition and initial operations setup.
Plain English: the payback structure is real, but it depends on the rink producing profits. No one should treat it like a bank-guaranteed deposit.
Why is the deadline December 1?
December 1, 2026 is the deadline to have the funds secured so the purchase can move forward. If the funds are not ready, the business can go to another buyer — and that buyer may not keep the rink operating for the local community. The goal is to enter the December transition period with the current owners and target the ownership / business-name transfer for January 1, 2027.
