TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

This past year, we provided free programming in our parks for more than 266,000 of our fellow New Yorkers. You have a profound impact on our ability to meet an urgent need for our work in under-resourced communities.

 

Your gift will allow us to continue to teach NYC’s kids how to protect our environment or introduce them to a new sport for life, assist community volunteers in transforming a green space in need of care, and bring free world-class performing arts to our parks all around the city.

 

When you support City Parks Foundation’s free programs, you are helping our parks, our communities, and our city thrive.

Steve “Charlie” Owens

In memory of our dear colleague and friend Steve Owens, please join us in creating the Steve Owens CityParks Tennis Endowed Scholarship in recognition of Steve’s extraordinary dedication to helping others as a coach and philanthropist.

 

 

For over 20 years, Steve was a tireless advocate for CityParks Tennis, the largest free municipal tennis program for kids in the country. With an endowment goal of $100,000, this scholarship will be awarded annually to a dedicated CityParks Tennis junior demonstrating exceptional sportsmanship, financial need, leadership, and future potential and will provide high performance training as well as tournament entry fees and related travel expenses.

 

 

Help us carry on Steve’s lifelong commitment to advancing the junior players he championed so devotedly by making a gift to the Steve Owens CityParks Tennis Endowed Scholarship today.
