Give the Gift of Play

This holiday season, we’re celebrating the gift of play. Our year-end celebration will offer many opportunities to show your support for Civic Park and help us “give play” to our community through Civic Park.

Thanks to a generous $10,000 challenge gift from an anonymous donor, gifts made to ECA will have double the impact. Every gift given to ECA during our year-end fundraiser will be matched by the donor, up to $10,000! That means that a $100 contribution to the campaign would be matched by the challenge gift, doubling the donation to $200.

The celebration kicks off on November 28 and runs through December 31. Once again,  Giving Tuesday will serve as the official launch day for our year-end fundraiser. Giving Tuesday is an annual international celebration of philanthropy that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This year is the third year that ECA has participated in Giving Tuesday.

We invite you to join us for our year-end celebration as we look back on a successful year at ECA  and prepare for some exciting changes in the year to come. The campaign will begin with a full day of events, contests, and giveaways on Giving Tuesday. The celebration will continue through December 31 with special events, prizes, and more. Check back here each week for an updated schedule of events for the campaign.
