Town of Apex Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Gift Catalog & Sponsorship Opportunities
Dear Potential Donor: This GIFT CATALOG was developed due to the numerous inquiries the department receives about the various ways interested citizens and participants can help improve the quality of the park experience or the experience in specific programs. Also, many inquire about ways they can provide a lasting testament and acknowledgement for friends or loved ones whom they want to honor in some small way. Over the years, many contributions have been made to various parks including benches, picnic tables, and trees. At the Halle Cultural Arts Center, many of the performing and work spaces bear the name of businesses and individuals who participated, through Citizens for Apex Parks, in the Second Century Campaign. This campaign, a public / private partnership, enabled the restoration and expansion of Apex s original Town Hall, built in 1912, into the current facility which is a cornerstone of our Historic Downtown. While this document certainly presents some wonderful opportunities for potential donors it is not intended to be all inclusive. If there is something that you would like to contribute or donate to the department which is not listed just let us know so it can be considered. Thank you for your interest in donating and for continuing to help make Apex THE PEAK OF GOOD LIVING. Sincerely, John M. Brown Director Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department
