Story

Show your support! Make a gift, Set a goal, Share with friends!

Today is #GivingTuesdayNow, a new global day of giving and unity, developed as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.

Today we ask you to show your riverfront parks some love, by showing your support. Make a gift, and join us in sharing the love, create a fundraiser page, share it with your friends and encourage them to make a gift as well.

The RiverWalk and Dequindre Cut are critical public greenspaces. We have increased our cleaning and security patrols and added signage to help keep our guests healthy so that they can get some exercise, fresh air and a bit of solitude in the midst of the chaos.

We love being part of the community. We share our love with the community through our programming. When schools closed, we partnered with the YMCA to provide meals, shifted to virtual programming like Music Mondays and virtual yoga classes, and shared the beauty of our city's many parks with our Detroit Parks Coloring book project. We have remained a place for people to stay connected and engaged, even while apart. But today we need to ask for your help to financially support the riverfront you love.

Now is the time, make a gift, set a goal, ask your friends- support what you love. As a thank you we want to share with you a piece of the riverfront: donors who make a gift of $100 or more will receive a limited-edition Dequindre Cut print created by our friends at Signal Return. We deeply appreciate your generosity, and your trust, and cant wait to see you on the riverfront soon! Stay safe and be well!
