GiveBig Day – May 2
April 12th, 2012
Click here to donate to the South Park Area Redevelopment Committee: Donate NOW!
Your first chance to support your South Park neighborhood non-profit SPARC during our first fund-raiser is GiveBig Day, Wednesday, May 2.
- How does GiveBIG work?
All donations made to SPARC through The Seattle Foundation’s website on GiveBIG day will receive a pro-rated portion of a $500,000 matching funds (or “stretch”) pool. The amount of the “stretch” depends on how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day. For example, if SPARC receives 1 percent of the total donations during GiveBIG, then we will receive 1 percent of the stretch pool. Last year, a $10 donation resulted in $11.40. We won’t know how much gifts will be “stretched” this year because it depends on the total raised. - When is GiveBIG?
GiveBIG will take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 from midnight to midnight, Pacific Time. » keep reading »

DIESEL PRIORITIZATION MEETING/HEALTH FAIR AND ONLINE SURVEY

At this meeting we will be asking folks what diesel exhaust sources (trucks, buses, trains) they would like to have monitored as well as what neighborhood locations (streets, residential areas, playfields). We will also be asking folks what they would like the air quality measuring results to be compared to (other Seattle neighborhoods, other cities, national standards) and what changes they would like to ask for with the data results.
WHAT: Diesel Prioritization Meeting and Health Fair
WHERE: South Park Community Center, 8319 8th Ave
WHEN: Thursday, April 12 at 6:00 pm
WHO: DEEDS Project (Puget Sound Sage and the University of Washington School of Public Health)

If you can’t make it to the meeting but would still like to help the study, please take three minutes to fill out our online survey! It can be found at: http://www.duwamishdiesel.org/home/survey
