Default Help build a playground

The Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary Park (FESPP) are working to build a playground behind the prison at 22nd and Brown Streets (see more at www.ourpark.org ).

To support FESPP's efforts, the Fairmount CDC has generously agreed to match each dollar donated toward the construction of a playground between now and the end of the year (up to $5,000).

FESPP hopes to raise $50,000 from the community. $22,000 has been raised so far.

If you would like to double the value of your donation, please send a check payable to Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary Park (include "Playground-FCDC Match" in the memo line) to the address below:

Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary Park
PO Box 56080
Philadelphia, PA 19130

All new members donating over $20 will receive an Ourpark T-shirt!

Default Progress on Playground Funding--Thanks!

Neighbors,

I am happy to announce that during the month of December and early January, many of you have contributed to the FESPP (Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary Park) fundraising effort to build a playground at 22nd and Brown Streets. Last year the Fairmount CDC pledged to match each dollar donated to this effort up to $5,000. To date the playground has raised $4,225 toward that $5,000 pledge. :clapping:

We need help to close the gap and raise the remaining $775! If you have not yet contributed, please consider doing so (remember each dollar you give is doubled by the FCDC). Make sure to write "FCDC Playground Match" in the memo line! Once we meet this goal, we will have raised $31,500 of our goal of $50,000 for community participation in this project.

The Friends of Eastern State Penitentiary Park is a registered 501(c)3, so your gift is tax-deductible. Get your pledge form at www.Ourpark.org or send your check to "FESPP" at PO Box 50680, Philadelphia, PA 19130.

To all those who have already given, a deep appreciative thanks from the FESPP board and Playground Committee. Progress is being made!
