You may have seen our recent posts with the captions “A riverfront for ________”. Let’s highlight the walkers, runners, bikers, birdwatchers, gardeners, and gabbers. The people who picnic

and people who party; people who get up with the sun and people who stare at the stars. Poets and playmakers, moms and musicians. Let’s create a riverfront for everyone.

A riverfront for everyone See how we’re creating a riverfront for everyone this past summer by free kayaking under a full moon, concerts in the middle of the Mississippi River, licking

paletas, and spinning around during Tropical Thursday free dance lessons…

But how does that happen?

It happens when we work together.

An early pledge identifies you as someone with foresight and imagination — a visionary. Your pledge of $1,000 or more to support the reimagined Tom Lee Park represents a commitment to an

ambitious future for Memphis. With your gift, you are helping build a riverfront that works for everyone.

Right now, we are offering Memphians an opportunity to leave their legacy on the riverfront by becoming the first-ever Visionaries. If you make a pledge of $1,000 or more by December 1st,

you’ll join the Visionaries in supporting beautifully designed spaces and continued joy on the riverfront through the completion of the future Tom Lee Park.

Some of the benefits include:

Your name in Visionary Pavilion in River GardenYour name in Visionary Plaza in Tom Lee ParkInsider updates on park plans and construction progressInvitations to exclusive donor

eventsOpportunity to tour the new Tom Lee Park during construction In 2O2O, the River Garden pavilion will be renamed as “Visionary Pavilion.” In recognition of your early support, your name

will be inscribed upon the pavilion. Once the new park is completed, you will also be recognized in Visionary Plaza in Tom Lee Park. (And remember, all visionary benefits are in addition to

recognition that comes with each level of giving.)

You can even pay in installments! For example, a $2,000 pledge paid over three years works out to about $50 a month — and all donations are tax-deductible. Be sure to check if your company

matches philanthropic gifts to make your gift go even further.
