So many of us have memories of growing up visiting Roger Williams Park, including RWPC’s outgoing Board Vice-Chair Meredith Curren!

Supporting Roger Williams Park Conservancy on @401gives will help visitors create new memories at the Park by ensuring vibrant free programming — from the amazing @riphilharmonic Pops Concert to the dozens of other events every year — is always available! 

Remember us on March 31 and sign up today to engage in peer-to-peer fundraising — it’s as simple as going to our 401 Gives page (link in bio) and hitting “Fundraise.”

Keep an eye out for details on a special event at the @rwpboathousecafe in May to celebrate supporters who donate or raise $100 or more!
