We are getting closer to the goal of $50,000 to fund new restrooms at Warvel Park! We only have about 5 weeks left for fundraising, so please share this post!

Help enhance Warvel Park through critical infrastructure improvements, including updated restroom facilities, while also investing in shared event equipment.

We are so excited to partner with Manchester Alive: Main Street Chamber Alliance to raise funds for NEW RESTROOMS at Warvel Park as well as event equipment for local festivals. The deadline for donations is July 19th!

The link to donate is in MA's post below!

Every dollar really can become two — but only if we reach our goal by July 19!

Thanks to this incredible community, we’ve already raised $22,300 toward our $50,000 goal for accessible improvements and event infrastructure at Warvel Park and beyond. From families and festivalgoers to pickleball players and seniors, this project will help create a more welcoming community space for everyone.

Your donation helps fund:
• ADA-accessible restrooms
• Event equipment & infrastructure
• Improvements that support community gatherings for years to come

And remember — qualifying donations are MATCHED through CreatINg Places!

Help us keep the momentum going. 💚

or in person at Manchester Alive, 126 E Main Street.

Thank you for helping to reach this goal!
