Austin's Friends of Pease Park needs our help!
In 1875, a beautiful forest gracing the west flank of Lamar Boulevard in central Austin became the city park that we call Pease Park. General George Custer, Eeyore's Birthday Party, and multitudes since have used the wonderful acreage. Now the Friends of Pease Park warn it is "severely underfunded and overused." The summer of 2009 has further harmed the park with extreme heat, drought, and windstorms.
Whole Earth is dedicated to helping raise the funds needed to plant a new generation of shade trees in Pease and to provide an automated irrigation system to serve them.
If you love Pease Park, like so many of us who have played there over the years, please make a donation to this worthy cause by sending a tax deductible contribution to:
Austin Parks Foundation
816 Congress Avenue, Suite 1680
Austin, Texas 78701.
Please make your checks payable to the Friends of Pease Park.
You can also contribute by shopping at any of the Austin Whole Earth Provision Co. stores. As you check out at the cash register, just mention to your salesperson that you'd love to donate an additional $1, $5, $10 or more. They will make it happen.
Hoping you have a Happy Holiday!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at
Whole Earth Provision Co.
