Washington, California, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, South Dakota,
Wisconsin,
Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Texas, Hawaii, and Minnesotans from over 150 cities have contributed
to the cause. Since
the yellow ribbon fundraising campaign began in 1994, we have received
over 1,500 contributions in the amounts of $1 to
$3,000, totaling over $105,400. These contributions, plus
prepayments by three signers of the voluntary assessment agreement
and monies paid by some of the residents provided the funds to reach
the payment goal.
Now that the goals have been met, a report* will be prepared on the project, and association's mission of education and raising awareness of the
importance of green space will continue.
Minnehaha Oaks Association is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, was dissolved in early 2009. Remaining funds were transferred to a City of Hopkins park fund.
