Please Consider Supporting the Friends

Dear Crawford Park Supporter,

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to thank you for your continued support of the Friends. The park has been a bustling hub of activity, and it continues to be a special place in our community. Your generosity has enabled us to continue our mission of maintaining and beautifying the park. The donations we receive help us initiate new projects and support ongoing ones.

This year, we:

• Installed a new “Beuta Block” border in the wildflower garden

• Added several new trees donated by supporters to remember loved ones

• Planted summer annuals in the pavilion area, the Sunken Garden, Obelisk Garden, Morabito Garden and Lincoln Avenue planters

• Sponsored an Eagle Scout project to refurbish the benches in the Sunken Garden

• Welcomed fall by planting mums and other annuals in the Sunken and Obelisk Gardens

• Held our first-ever fall plant sale to benefit the Friends

• Were selected by Acme to be the recipient of its October fundraising efforts

• Decorated the Sunken and Obelisk Gardens for the Town of Rye’s Holiday Lights event on Dec. 7 to celebrate the season

We already have a list of projects for 2025 but will only be able to achieve them with the help of supporters like you. We do not have a gala or an in-person fundraiser, so this appeal is our primary outreach to you for your support. You may donate by using the following link to our PayPal account.

The Friends of Crawford Park is a nonprofit volunteer group made up of your neighbors who also love the park. We are focused on making Crawford Park a beautiful destination for all to enjoy, and so we ask that you give as generously as possible.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the park!

Alison Lazarus

President

P.S. We also welcome volunteers to join our committee, which meets virtually each month. If you are interested in joining us or learning more, please send us a note.

Spreading Sparkle and Cheer in Crawford Park

From the twinkling displays to the cheerful energy of the crowd, the Town of Rye's Holiday Lights at Crawford Park was a festive evening filled with warmth and joy.

The Sunken Garden, which the Friends transformed into a candy cane lane, sparkled with red and white lights and served as the perfect backdrop for family photos.

In case you missed the event, here are a few photos from the Sunken Garden. We hope to see you next year!
