More than 200 people gathered Oct. 12 to celebrate Madison Park, bid on silent and live auction items, meet new neighbors, learn more about Friends of Madison Park and bottom line, have a fun evening. The generosity of our sponsors, our auction donors, and our guests made this celebration of our community a success well beyond our highest hopes. You helped raise $115,000 in one incredible evening!
These funds provide a solid foundation on which Friends of Madison Park will continue to build and provide our community with the events and projects that have begun over the past 18 months and ensure the ability to add more going forward.
In partnership with the local businesses and the community, these funds will help with the costs of events like Music in the Park and the Easter Egg Hunt, the Garden Tour and the Children’s Parade and Picnic, next summer’s Farmer’s Market and the ongoing project to beautify and maintain our business district with lights and plantings. With these funds, Friends of Madison Park can also pursue the goal of renovating our 1910 Bathhouse as a multi-use gathering place and the restoration of our beach, dock and park to be enjoyed by all. And so so much more.
