Re-Imagining Our City
We're Number 5!! We got over 4,000 votes (4,130) and missed the Top 4 by just 50 votes! (Top 4 projects are in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul. Scores are online at www.casefoundation.org.)
So close!! This must be how Olympic athletes will feel if they miss winning a medal by a whisker. On the positive side, 4,130 people endorsed Re-Imagining Our City as a valuable project! The extra 25K would have been nice, but the project is still a go. Our Top 20 grant of 10K has been matched by Find the Rivers! and we’ve attracted the attention of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, which has offered the possibility of support if we didn't make it into the Top 4. (For now, our dream of taking youth participants on a Paris field trip may have to wait. Sigh.)
Find the Rivers! hill tour and boat ride on the rivers. Lunch provided. Free & open to the public.
