Corporate Sponsors Help Maintain Columbus Park

Corporate sponsors make it possible for the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (FOCCP) to keep the very active community park maintained.

Along with membership fees, FOCCP not only keeps the park clean and beautiful, they provide many outstanding community fun-filled family events that attract hundreds of people.

Becoming a corporate sponsor and/or a member helps FOCCP continue the great work they do, time and time again.

FOCCP is also seeking volunteers to help with events, activities and with the upkeeping of the park.

NEAD Now North End Cares, Inc.

Recognizing their primary focus, providing drug abuse prevention and education is best suited for professional health care individuals and organizations, North End Against Drugs (NEAD) has changed its name to North End Cares, Inc.

Started in 1995, NEAD has revised the objectives of the organization, developing a new mission and purpose to serve the North End.

North End Cares, Inc. plans to enhance the quality of life of residents and will continue to partner with local businesses, organizations and the community to provide quality events and activities as they have done in the past.

NEAD has served the North End extremely well over the years and a North End Cares, Inc. will continue to do so.

Good luck on your new mission and direction. The community will benefit from your decisions!
