Prospect Park Alliance launches 7-day crowdfunding challenge
A challenge has been issued by two of Prospect Park’s biggest fans, Lorraine and Gordon DiPaolo. If the Prospect Park Alliance receives 1,000 donations of any size by June 2, they will unlock a generous gift of $50,000.
In response, the Prospect Park Alliance launched on Wednesday “1,000 For The Park,” a crowdfunding challenge campaign to earn 1,000 donations by the deadline.
“Millions of people love Prospect Park in thousands of different ways. As the park’s popularity grows, the resources needed to care for the Park also grow,” Susan Donoghue, park administrator and president of the Prospect Park Alliance, said in a statement. “With our busiest season approaching, we hope the community will help us reach our goal and spread the word. Every donation, no matter the size, will help make this treasured urban oasis even more inviting for picnics, ball games, water play and the thousands of other ways the community enjoys the park in the summer.”
