Park Lawn seeks volunteers to help on the weekend of April 20 and 21 from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm to spread the word about Park Lawn during the Annual Tag Days event.
During Tag Days, volunteers across the city give out information about Park Lawn and collect donations. On average this event helps raise more than $50,000 that directly benefits the programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities at Park Lawn.
Park Lawn has a new tag that will be given to all generous donors with more information about Park Lawn and a way to give through texting. If people don't have cash on them, they can text they phrase GIVEPL to the number 20222 and they can make a simple $5 donation.
