Foundation Party
The Grosse Pointe Park Foundation Party first started in 1984 and raised $3,515. Throughout the years, many generous hosts have opened their homes in Grosse Pointe Park. The Foundation Party is a fun social community gathering celebrating our generous donors and sponsors who have helped contribute to over 20 different projects throughout the Park. The 2021 Foundation Party hosted by Mike Shields raised $172,560.
John Francis and Kim VanElslander will host the 2023 Foundation Party at their home, celebrating 100 years. Stay tuned for more details!
If you would like to become a sponsor, please contact Courtney Delmege.
