Dozer Days

What is Dozer Day?

Dozer Day is a kid-friendly fair-like event where the rides are dozers, dump trucks and other heavy equipment. The event is now organized by the Nutter Foundation; however, the event continues to benefit the Parks Foundation and is expanding to further benefit other non-profit organizations. With a professional, licensed driver at their side, kids have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive a big yellow bulldozer, backhoe, loader or other piece of heavy equipment. It’s a dream come true for kids--and great fun for the whole family!

Who is the Nutter Foundation and how are funds distributed?

The Nutter Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses primarily on children. We partner with organizations such as parks and recreation, little leagues, schools, PTA’s etc., to help give the knowledge, funding, manpower, or whatever else they may need to keep the focus on the children. With the Nutter Foundation 100% of the money raised goes back to the community in which we were raised and are now raising our children. If you are interested in receiving more information on how to receive a grant or obtaining an application you can call Renee at 759-2300, email Renee@NutterFoundation.org or coming soon on www.NutterFoundation.org.
