Broad Ripple Park has been selected for “Heart Your Park,” a program introduced as part of Macy’s “Secret Garden” campaign that aims to raise awareness and dollars for local parks across the country. Through March 31, 2014 customers at Macy’s Glendale Shopping Center can donate $1 or more at the register, with 100 percent of the donations benefiting Broad Ripple Park. Macy’s will match the total customer donation across all stores, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000 in total.
Broad Ripple Park is one of more than 550 parks nationwide that will benefit from Macy’s “Heart Your Park” this spring. In partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the national non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of community parks, recreation and conservation, Macy’s stores across the country have each selected a local park or green space in their community to support through the program. Donations will go toward making improvements, such as maintaining trails, playgrounds, ball fields, and everything in between.
“We are honored to have Broad Ripple Park be selected as a recipient of “Heart Your Park” this spring,” said Indy Parks Director, John Williams. “Through this wonderful program and generous donations by Macy’s customers, we are excited about the increased awareness and additional funding for Broad Ripple Park. This park is a great asset to Indianapolis, and we greatly appreciate Macy’s support.”
“Heart Your Park” is part of Macy’s “Secret Garden” spring campaign that will come to life at Macy’s stores and on macys.com with an infusion of garden-inspired merchandise, special promotions and events. For more information on “Secret Garden,” visit macys.com/secretgarden.
