Update, 9/26/22: The goal has been reached as of this morning--although Friends of Thomas J. Cuite Park won't turn away additional donations!
-------------------------------------------------------
Friends of Thomas J. Cuite Park has commissioned Brooklyn-based artist Jaima to paint a community-themed mural (see the mockup above) on the wall at the Seeley Street entrance to the park. Froggy Park, as it's popularly known, is located on 19th Street, between 11th Avenue and Seeley Street, in Windsor Terrace.
The Friends' fundraising campaign is raising $1500, which the ioby Partnerships for Parks Match Program will match, for a total of $3,000. The fundraising deadline is September 30, 2022, and, as of this moment (8:00 p.m. on 9/25/22), $749 more is needed.
Jaima has already started creating the colorful, bold mural whose goal will be to create "a sense of community spirit, inclusivity and a love for nature."
Donations of all sizes will help purchase supplies and pay the artist. Donate what you can at https://ioby.org/project/froggy-park-mural.
