We recently kicked off the public phase of our $2M capital campaign to raise much-needed funds to restore the historic 1868 Park Superintendent’s house in the northwest corner of Patterson Park (our headquarters!) and to construct a brand-new community space and courtyard. On February 12, donors and friends gathered at the Ministry of Brewing to celebrate the halfway milestone in the campaign.

We had several speakers - long-time park friends and volunteers Kevin Peryea and Beth Braun (President of the Butchers Hill Association), and friend and program participant Joyce England, who talked about the dire need for this project and their reasons for supporting it. Two new videos were debuted at the event, including a virtual tour of the newly renovated white house and community space.

Check out photos in the gallery below, and the videos to the right. Lots more info on the campaign, Deepening Roots, Cultivating Community, is available here.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
