Garland Parks Foundation reports successful Surf & Swim fundraiser, raises funds for summer camp
Summary
Kenya Hudsonat told the board the May 16 exclusive preview of the renovated Surf and Swim facility drew nearly 700 attendees and raised about $5,200 — including a $2,500 donation — to expand summer-camp access for children.
Kenya Hudsonat, speaking on behalf of the Garland Parks Foundation, presented results from the foundation’s exclusive preview fundraiser for the renovated Surf and Swim aquatic facility. "We have an attendance of almost 700 people," she said, and reported that the event raised about $5,200 to support the STAR Summer Camp program, including a $2,500 donation from Encore Recycling Company. Hudsonat credited partnerships with the City of Garland Parks and Recreation Department, local sponsors, volunteers and community members for the event’s turnout.
Hudsonat also described a paused arts project — a plan to rescue an abandoned antique car and convert it into a park art installation — saying the foundation had encountered circumstances that required rethinking the execution but that it remains committed to park enhancements and community engagement. She thanked board members and invited ongoing support for future initiatives.
