Exciting Update on Our Fundraising Efforts and Next Steps!
We are thrilled to share some fantastic news about our ongoing fundraising campaign for the new playground! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we've raised an impressive $235,126 to date. This success would not have been possible without the support of local businesses, individual donors, and grants.
A special thank you goes to the Chicago Club for their generous $50,000 matching grant, which has significantly boosted our efforts.
With these funds, we’ve placed an order for the playground equipment and are eagerly planning a Spring 2025 community build. This will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together and bring this project to life.
While we’ve made great progress, we are still raising funds to reach our final goal, which will allow us to cover the installation-related cost of cement footers, protective surfacing material, and site landscaping.
For those who have already donated, we are deeply grateful for your support. If you haven’t yet donated, we encourage you to visit our donation page by clicking on the "Donations to our Playground Project" link above or by sending a check to: The Rotary Club of Charlevoix Charities, P.O. Box 532, Charlevoix, MI 49720. Every contribution brings us one step closer to creating a safe and joyful space for our children to play
