Your generosity has been instrumental in helping the Columbus Park Foundation to sponsor Columbus Parks and Recreation’s programs and facilities to ensure our community can participate in programs. This past year, your gifts helped to:
- Support free programs such as free photos with Santa at The Commons.
- Encourage full community participation in recreation programs and sports by giving out over $24,000 in youth scholarships
- Create welcoming spaces for our community and encourage a healthier lifestyle by helping to build the first free public Disc Golf.
- Protect our community’s green spaces for future generations by planting trees.
- Repair People Trails in our community so everyone has a safe place to be healthy.
- Provide items for the free Come Out and Play Store for children to purchase at the end of the summer with their “Park Bucks”.
Your generosity is a gift that keeps on giving, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to making our world a better place.
