WOW! 

Thank you so much for the incredible support you've shown in just a little over one day for Smither Park! We're almost half-way there - but we've got a long ways to go. $9,800 is only a small fraction of the entire cost to complete Smither Park, so spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, teachers, students, fellow art lovers, and anyone else you know that thinks the world needs more unique, exciting and colorful green spaces.
