Each year Groundwork Lawrence helps thousands of Lawrence residents, young people, businesses, and community organizations to “change places and change lives” and tackle our community’s most intractable challenges. Groundwork’s Glow Gala and Annual Fundraiser, supports sustaining the “glow” of our impact in the community—and supporting your share of:

…our parks and open spaces
…our local harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables
…our waterways, alleyways, and riverfront trails
…our tree canopy
…our youth and our future

Thank you to our 2009 Glow Sponsors
