Partners for Parks is happy to share our community has come together and raised nearly $2.4 million dollars of our $3.5 million dollar goal for private sector support of The H-Barn Project.
During the holiday season more than ever, we want to express our gratitude to those who have made this progress possible. And in this spirit we sincerely say thank you to all donors.
“When I witness people of all ages and ethnic groups enjoying the beautiful parks and amenities they offer, it brings my heart joy. It is diverse groups of people coming together that enhance the quality of life for all.” – JoEthel Smith, Honorary Campaign Co-Chair
Our wonderful partners at BMW Northwest and Amazon have committed to continue to match every dollar donated, up to a total of $100,000, for all contributions and pledges received until January 1, 2025. These funds will directly support the restoration of the historic H-Barn at Fort Steilacoom Park into a unique and much needed multi-purpose facility for public and private use. Donate here
