Annual Fund High Five for 65 campaign

Parks & Recreation, April, 2006

Raising more than $51,000, the 2005 Annual Fund campaign was a huge success. This year, NRPA hopes you can donate even more with a new campaign. Called "High Five for 65," the association asks you to donate a minimum of $65 in an effort to reach the goal of $65,000. Funds from the 2006 Annual Fund will be used to promote public policy efforts and the awareness of the importance of parks and recreation.

We know that you give generously of your time and efforts every day to support the future of our nation's park and recreation movement. NRPA, your national organization, also requests your help so that we may continue to deliver the superior grade of educational offerings, publications and advocacy that you've grown to expect. By contributing to the NRPA Annual Fund and supporting the "High Five for 65" campaign, you've cast another vote of confidence and support for America's parks and recreation. (as of 3/28/06)
