Friends of the Slinger Dog Park report $10,000 raised; 501(c)(3) effort underway
Summary
Board member Jennie Stonehouse told the Sept. 3 Park, Recreation & Forestry Board that the Friends of the Slinger Dog Park have raised just over $10,000, held multiple August events and are moving forward on forming a 501(c)(3) with help from Administrator Margaret Wilber.
Jennie Stonehouse updated the board Sept. 3 on a busy month at the Slinger dog park and progress on fundraising and nonprofit formation.
Stonehouse said the dog park hosted a series of events in August, including line dancing, and will be the Piggly Wiggly October round‑up group in partnership with the Washington County Humane Society. Stonehouse told the board the Friends of the Slinger Dog Park has now collected just over $10,000 and said the group's 501(c)(3) effort is moving forward, thanking Administrator Margaret Wilber for her assistance.
Why it matters: The fundraising and nonprofit status could help sustain programming and maintenance at the dog park and expand community fundraising options. The board received the update during the ‘‘Unfinished Business — Dog Park Report’’ item; no formal board action was taken on the dog park during the meeting.
