Fund Your Wild! Great Parks Forever cordially invites you to Root Ball, a celebration of nature! Enjoy an evening of dinner, cocktails, a silent auction and entertainment with like-minded community members and corporate partners while listening to, learning from and connecting with fellow nature lovers. Root Ball, an annual fundraising event, helps us procure critical funds for Great Parks Forever, Great Parks’ philanthropic partner. Great Parks Forever seeks to translate an early conservation promise into everyday experiences and lasting legacies. Be the first to learn how we are activating our acres to position the region as a vibrant and healthy place to live, learn, work and play.
