Park 'til Dark &
Pour at the Park Recap
Park ’til Dark and Pour at the Park in North Park, presented by Peoples Natural Gas, took place on Saturday, October 12 and both were a ton of fun! The main goals of these events are to raise awareness for our work, to connect and interact with park users and to fundraise for our organization. Between the two events we interacted with over 330 people and grossed $24,658, which will all be poured directly back into your nine Allegheny County Parks with our ongoing work. Whether you sponsored the events, bought a ticket to Pour at the Park, donated to Park ’til Dark, attended an activity or conversed with a staff member, we thank you for your attendance and support! If you missed all or part of the event then check out the recap on our blog!
Additionally, we are now happy to share that our Zero Waste efforts at Pour at the Park, with the assistance of Pennsylvania Resources Council, yielded a diversion rate of 83.1%! That means that without our Zero Waste services, 92.2 pounds of compost, recycling and food resources would have been sent to a landfill. While our goal is to get the diversion rate above 90%, we are thrilled with the positive impact we had in North Park this year.
