Dear friend of the parks,
Each year Friends of the Parks honors Park Advisory Councils (PACs) and other groups and individuals that have gone above and beyond in making Chicago’s parks great places—through stewardship, advocacy, coordinating park-centric activities for the community, and other kinds of volunteerism. These may be folks who are actively involved with Friends of the Parks. Or they may be people we don’t know yet, but really should!
That's where you come in. We are seeking nominations for our 2022 Volunteers-in-Parks Awards. Who do you see going above and beyond to care for a park? What projects have captured your imagination? What groups are influencing decision makers to ensure all parks work for all Chicagoans?
The deadline to submit nominations is Monday, October 31st at 11:59pm.
