DEAR FRIENDS,
It's been a transformative year, and your support, whether financial or sweat equity, drove these powerful results:
- Painted 12 murals and 101 abandonded buildings with our signature doors & windows
- Cultivated 25,323 K-12 students' anti-littering and recycling habits
- Engaged 12,992 volunteers at 1,562 cleanup events
- Removed 914,467 pounds of litter and 2,289 graffiti tags
To honor the hard work of the past and look to sustaining programs in the future, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful hosted our first ever fundraiser, the Cincy Block Party. If you came to the party or donated, a massive thanks! If you couldn't make it, you missed out! The contributions from this event generated 73% of our $39,000 goal. That's amazing progress-- but we still have a little further to go!
Leading up to the big 4-0, we need your help to make 2018 our best year yet. When considering how and where to give this holiday season, reflect on the impacts your gift makes:
- $500 Paints and maintains 2 abandonded buildings
- $250 Funds transportation for a student field trip
- $100 Purchases cleanup supplies for litter and graffiti removal
- $50 Stabilizes a vacant lot for two months
- $25 Does a little bit of everything
By becoming a friend of Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, you strengthen our programming and charge citizens with the tools to enhance our 52 neighborhoods. This holiday, you can give us new friends by donating on behalf of a loved one. East Side or West, the local impact of your gift will be evident as Keep Cincinnati Beautiful empowers every Cincinnatian to make their mark on the city we all love. Would you consider a monthly recurring gift of $25? This simple investment empowers KCB to enrich under-served neighborhoods and help communities create vibrant spaces that bring our entire city together
Thank you for your generosity,
KCB TEAM
