Why $5,000?

We are excited about the Oakhurst Park Fundraiser going on this month! You may be wondering why we set our goal at $5,000. Did you know that during the peak of a hot, dry Texas summer, the park watering bill can reach $800?
It also costs hundreds of dollars per month to keep the park mowed and edged and the curbs cleaned. Of course its totally worth it to enjoy the lush green grass, colorful flowers, and the cool of beautiful healthy old shade trees.
We decided to try to raise $5,000 to make sure we have more than enough to cover all the watering and maintenance bills with some funds left over for emergencies (such as broken sprinklers) and future projects (such as repairs and improvements). 
Currently, we are relying on an individual donor to maintain the park. However, that model is not sustainable. We want to make sure that we can keep Oakhurst Park in great condition, even if the generous people we rely on move away, are injured, or have to stop donating. That’s why we raise funds.
100% of everything you donate goes to the park. That’s our commitment to you! Beginning this year, we’ll be collecting bills and specific numbers so that you can see exactly where your money is going. If you ever have any questions about what we use your donations for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! You can contact us at FriendsOfOakhurstPark@gmail.com or at www.friendsofoakhurstpark.org/contact.
Thank you SO much, again, for your donations! Together, we can achieve our mission to MAINTAIN, PROTECT and PRESERVE Oakhurst Park for future generations. ​​
