Cincinnati Parks begin fundraising campaign

The Ludlow Kessler campaign to fund Cincinnati Parks is underway, with a goal of raising $140,000 to keep the parks "clean, green, and safe".

The annual campaign is the park system's only fundraiser, and donations are used to cover basic operating costs.

According to Cincinnati Parks, an additional 66 cents worth of benefits are generated for the community for every dollar it receives.

Donations can be made online, or by mail to Cincinnati Parks Foundation, 950 Eden Park Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45202.
