Non-Profit Spotlight: Klyde Warren Park
Klyde Warren Park has become an oasis in the heart of Dallas, providing connectivity between Downtown and Uptown. This unique space is unlike any park in the region.
It costs roughly $3.5 million to run the park each year, which is raised through private donations, corporate sponsorships, event rental revenue, and contributions from a PID (public improvement district). Klyde Warren Park is launching their first public fundraising campaign, "i heart the park," to celebrate how much we all enjoy Klyde Warren Park, as well as support one of the keys to its success — the park’s free programming. They hope to raise $50,000 through online donations, social media awareness, events in the park, and merchandising, in support of free programing.
"i heart the park” will enable everyone who enjoys Klyde Warren Park to support its success. If you’re a dog lover, you "heart" the park! If you’re a music fanatic, you "heart" the park! If you love fitness, you "heart" the park! Share what YOU love about Klyde Warren Park on social media and use the hashtag #iheartthepark, or post your photo to the gallery: http://www.iheartthepark.com/participate.html
