PATRIOT PARK FOUNDATION
2023-12-14 08:00 - 2023-12-31 17:00 | Patriot Park Foundation
Patriot Park Foundation is having a fundraiser for major capital improvements. These include paving the entrance road, enhancing walkways with pavers, and creating the Timeline Trail.
The goal is to raise $200,000. While that may sound substantial, it pales in comparison to the sacrifices made by our military and their families.
An anonymous sponsor pledged a $25,000 matching donation, doubling the impact of every dollar donated from now until the year’s end. That goal has already been exceeded and now another anonymous donor has pledged $5,000 matching donation.
