On behalf of our team and Board of Directors, we extend heartfelt thanks to the Oak Society for championing our mission. Below is a list of our 2024 Oak Society donors, to whom we are deeply grateful.
2024 Oak Society Party:
A Celebration of Generosity and Green Spaces
Hosted by Brian L. Tiffany (Cincinnati Parks Foundation Board Chair) and Jerry Ewers, alongside Premier Park Events, the 2024 Oak Society Party brought Cincinnati Parks Foundation's top donors together for an unforgettable evening at the historic Gibson House. Guests enjoyed engaging insights from Crystal Courtney, Division of Nature Resources for Cincinnati Parks, and Gerald Checco, former superintendent of operations for Cincinnati Parks and retired director of Public Works and Metropolitan Sewer District. The duo shared their knowledge in their presentation, The Value of Trees. The evening was a celebration of the impact of this collective generosity on Cincinnati’s parks and green spaces. The evening was a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the Foundation’s most dedicated supporters. Thank you for helping us do more in Cincinnati Parks.
