One of the great things about Neuton is the community of owners and activists who use the machines. Everyone has their own tale to tell. And many are involved in some pretty cool local activities.

Earlier this year we started "Neutons for Non-Profits" to support the community and their efforts. Most of our donations are in the form of lawn mowers and most go to groups working to clean air. And those groups, in turn, use the mowers to raise awareness and funds for the cause.

The Long Lake Conservation Foundation (LLCC) of Palisade, Minnesota applied for and won a donated Neuton earlier this year. The LLCC mission is to promote wise use of natural resources and foster proper conservation citizenship by making students aware of the interdependence of humans and the environment.

The donated mower helped the Foundation raise $9500 at their annual golf tournament. The Aitkin Independent Age wrote about the tournament, the mower, and more importantly, the good that LLCC does year-round in the pages of their newspaper. Linda Weimer was the lucky winner of the mower raffle -- and our congratulations go out to her.



You can read more about the LLCC's work in their PDF newsleter here.

We'll accept applications for more donated Neuton Mowers next year. If you know a non-profit organization that would like one, encourage them to apply!
