Hello Friends of the Forever Parks Foundation,

Happy Holidays to you, your family and friends. The Forever Parks Foundation has been busy this season helping make the time of year special and safe for everyone. We know that this holiday season may be challenging for some and look different for most of us, but we truly with the best for all of our Pearland neighbors during this time.

As most of you know, we have taken on the big goal of building Pearland's first All Inclusive playground within 18 - 24 months. To make that goal a reality, we will need help from all of our FPF friends, including you!

Mayor Cole kicked off the giving this season by announcing that he will be donating half of his mayoral salary to the Forever Parks Foundation in support of the All Inclusive Playground. We are thrilled to have his support and as a result, our project was featured in the Houston Chronicle. Thank you Mayor Cole!

Many of you already donated during our Giving Tuesday campaign, but as you are planning your own year end donations we ask that you keep us in mind. Join Mayor Cole and your Pearland neighbors in "Giving the Gift of Play" for all kids this season.

The Forever Parks Foundation of Pearland hosted the 27th Annual Tour De Lites this past Saturday. It was a beautiful evening for touring the Christmas lights in Green Tee Terrace on two wheels! We had an amazing turnout for this beloved community event, with over 100 riders participating this year.  

We loved seeing all of the decorated bicycles and we want to congratulate the winners of our bicycle decorating contest!
