Not the TV show — Bobcat added some star power to the nation’s park and recreation areas as part of its “Doing Work Worth Doing” program. For every shared photo between July 1-31, 2025, Bobcat donated $10 to NRPA, with a goal to contribute up to $150,000 to support environmental preservation.
“Community is at the heart of everything we do,” said Laura Ness Owens, Bobcat VP of brand & marketing. “Our partnership with the NRPA allows us to contribute to the creation of vibrant, sustainable park and recreation spaces that benefit people of all ages. These spaces are essential resources for individuals and families to connect, stay active and promote overall health—opportunities that enhance the fabric of communities and create stronger futures.”
“Build Together, Play Together” was the theme of this year’s Park & Recreation Month. Now in its 40th year of celebration, Park and Recreation Month uplifts park and recreation professionals and how they improve lives through the lasting impact of park and recreation programs.
“Park and Recreation Month is a time to honor the park and recreation professionals and agencies that make our communities stronger,” said Kristine Stratton, NRPA president and CEO. “We’re incredibly grateful for partners like Bobcat, whose unwavering support and shared commitment to the power of parks helps drive lasting impact. Their belief in the importance of local park and recreation spaces—places that foster well-being, build resilience and prepare communities for the challenges of today and tomorrow—is a true inspiration.”
Bobcat is celebrating its “Work Worth Doing” initiative throughout the year in various ways to recognize the work of everyday people who are making a difference. To learn more about how Bobcat is giving back and building community, click here:
