DONATE AND ENSURE THE PARK STAYS A SAFE AND HEALTHY PLACE

Dear Evelyn,

I can't recall a time when our community's sense of wellbeing was more important than during this pandemic.

The coronavirus has many families looking for affordable ways to escape stress and improve their general wellness by visiting Discovery Green park. But, we must all work together to stay safe and healthy.

I am asking you to make a $30 gift today to support increased health and safety measures in the park, like new handwashing stations. You can help make your beloved neighborhood park safer by giving now.

TAKE ACTION NOW - YOUR GIFT MATTERS TO A HEALTHY PARK

Like you, so many are turning to Discovery Green for a much-needed breather and ways to stay mentally and physically well. Just the other day, several families were picnicking in the park, from a safe distance.

As more people seek to enjoy the park during the summer months, we will continue to see more need for our facilities and restrooms. The Discovery Green Conservancy will have to increase spending on sanitation products and use park personnel to ensure visitors are practicing social distancing. Frankly, these added expenses were just not in our budget.

Please send your donation now to help keep everyone safe while at Discovery Green.

I am truly thankful for your gift.

Sincerely,

Barry Mandel
President and Park Director

P.S. - a gift of $60 will help with more handwashing stations and other safety needs in the park.

Postponed: House of Cards presented by Bracewell LLP
Like many Houstonians, we are monitoring the forecast and preparing for the potential impact that Hurricane Laura will have on our homes, the park and the city of Houston.

Unfortunately, given the uncertain trajectory of Hurricane Laura, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our House of Cards CAR-NIVAL fundraiser and the opening of the House of Cards installation. Generously sponsored by Bracewell LLP, the events were originally scheduled for Aug. 27 and Aug. 28, respectively.

Steps are being taken to secure the installation and event ticket holders will be notified directly. A new date has not yet been determined, but updates will be shared as they become available on our social media channels and newsletter.

We look forward to welcoming Houstonians back into the park to experience House of Cards once the storm has passed.

Stay safe, Houston.

DONATE AND ENSURE THE PARK STAYS A SAFE AND HEALTHY PLACE

Dear Evelyn,

It is true, Discovery Green has never needed your help more than it does today to keep the park safe for all users.

The coronavirus has many families looking for affordable ways to escape stress and improve their general wellness by visiting Discovery Green park. But, we must all work together to stay safe and healthy.

I am asking you to make a $30 gift today to support increased health and safety measures in the park, like new handwashing stations. You can help make your beloved neighborhood park safer by giving now.

TAKE ACTION NOW - YOUR GIFT MATTERS TO A HEALTHY PARK

Like you, so many are turning to Discovery Green for a much-needed breather and ways to stay mentally and physically well. Just the other day, several families were picnicking in the park, from a safe distance.

As more people seek to enjoy the park, we are seeing more demand for our facilities and restrooms. The COVID-19 health crisis requires sanitation supplies and measures that were unanticipated just a few months ago to help keep Discovery Green a safe space for you. Your donation will help to close the gap. Remember, we're all in this together.

Please send your donation now to help keep everyone safe while at Discovery Green.

I am truly thankful for your gift.

Sincerely,

Barry Mandel
President and Park Director

P.S. - a gift of $60 will help with more handwashing stations and other safety needs in the park.

At night, the structure will be animated to create the illusion of the house of cards rising, collapsing and being rebuilt.

The artists of OGE Group and the Discovery Green Conservancy see the House of Cards installation as a visual metaphor for how vital each piece of the community is for its overall strength and structure. Covid-19 has been a real-world example of just how interconnected we are and we've discovered we truly are stronger together. In its original state, a house of cards is a fragile creation. This House of Cards is monumental and stable. At this moment, which feels very fragile, we welcome a House of Cards that stands strong as an international collaboration.

Yes! I''m donating to the park

Dear Evelyn,

I hope you and your family are safe and well. What a thought-provoking week of events. Tuesday, Houstonians joined together at Discovery Green to begin a peaceful protest to city hall to express themselves and the need for social change.

This park that you and I love so dearly brings our diverse community together. But Discovery Green can only remain a safe and trusted park with donations from the community. I am asking for your gift to make sure it is healthy and freely accessible.

Evelyn, join me on a journey to building community by making a meaningful donation. Preserve your village green space today.

Use my gift for this diverse community space

Never has the park been inundated in such a short time nor the staff pushed the way it was. But Discovery Green is part of Houston's identity a place that reflects all you know and love about your city.With your gift, it can remain strong even under some very trying circumstances.

Please make a gift by June 17th, so I can report to the board how much our community believes in the park. Your support helps the park's landscaping, water features and facilities be free resources to the community.

If you are not able to give, I know that hasn't changed your heartfelt commitment to the park. If you have recently made a gift, thank you.

Sincerely,

Barry Mandel
President

Count on me to preserve my favorite park

P.S. Evelyn, if you are able to make a first or second gift, please do so by June 17^th so I can include your support in my report to the board of directors
