Your Leadership Investment Creates Generational Impact
The Rotary All-User Playground capital campaign presents an extraordinary opportunity for visionary leaders to create lasting change in our community. With a total goal of $4.55 million, we’re seeking partners who understand that transformational projects require transformational leadership.
Why Your Major Gift Matters Now
The All-User Playground at Mequon Rotary Park is more than just a playground. It is a transformative project designed to serve as the heart of our community. This isn’t simply about replacing old equipment, it’s about positioning the Mequon-Thiensville community as regional leaders in inclusive community design.
Your leadership-level investment demonstrates the kind of commitment that attracts additional major donors and ensures project success. Without significant anchor gifts from community leaders like you, this project cannot move forward. Your early commitment creates momentum that makes the entire campaign possible.
