Main Street Foundation selects PARC as grant finalist

The Main Street Community Foundation recently held a breakfast to celebrate the 10 Circa 1995 grantee finalists – and PARC was included! These nonprofit organizations were selected from an applicant pool after being challenged to provide a response for how their organization will make a difference in the next 30 years.

At MSCF’s 30th Main Event Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, Sept. 13, attendees will have the opportunity to vote to determine who receives grants ranging from $1,000 to the top grant award of $10,000! Voting will only be allowed at the event by guests – MSCF staff and members of the Board of Directors are not allowed to vote.

PARC submitted a very unique application – a 250-word poem (rather than an essay) reflecting on what we plan to accomplish in the next 30 years. (Click here for a printable copy of the poem and share! PARC’s Application for the Main Street Circa 1995 Grant

We are confident that after reading this snappy entry, all our dedicated supporters of PARC (including YOU) will want to attend this special night to cast your vote for us!

Tickets are $125pp and can be purchased by sending a check with this Ticket order form for Main Street 30-Year Gala or a note to the Main Street Community Foundation, P.O. Box 2702, Bristol, CT 06010. As an attendee and honorary grant-maker, YOU could cast the deciding vote that determines PARC as the $10,000 grant recipient! RSVP by Aug. 29. Proceeds from the event will support the MSCF’s community leadership efforts, also known as “Money in Motion,” as they work to create vibrant communities.

We look forward to seeing you there – and as always, thank you for supporting PARC!
