On behalf of Preservation Parks of Delaware County and the Preservation Parks Foundation, we would like to thank everyone who made our 50th Anniversary Gala a BIG success! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took time to join us in celebrating this milestone event.
We’d also like to recognize Columbus Zoo and Aquarium CEO, Tom Schmid, for his remarks, Dan Boysel for his masterful auction skills and our generous sponsors. The event raised more than $70,000 which will be used by the Park District to improve and enhance our wonderful green spaces.
The vision of the Preservation Parks Foundation is to provide resources that enable Preservation Parks of Delaware County to take a leadership role in enriching lives by connecting people to nature.
Driven by the need to preserve and expand our parks system, the Preservation Parks Foundation (PPF) was founded in 2018 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness to support the goals and objectives of Preservation Parks of Delaware County.
The Foundation is dedicated to maintaining and growing programs of the highest quality and excellence that inspire outdoor exploration and learning and preserve the natural and historical features of Delaware County. The Foundation also helps Preservation Parks better leverage tax dollars to raise funds in support of special projects such as the Deer Haven Park Aviary. With Delaware County’s population projected to increase by more than 14 percent in the next 10 years, the ability to secure and conserve accessible public spaces will become ever more challenging. The Foundation seeks to help make lifelong memories for all who visit our parks, whether it’s through a new activity, a day of family fun, an exploration of hidden gems, or an escape from the distractions of the digital world.
