Since its inception in 1984, the Adopt-a-Park Program has been the primary source of funding for the now nearly 70 gardens throughout the City of White Plains installed and maintained by White Plains Beautification Foundation.

Each spring, WPBF, city and county officials celebrate our Adopt-a-Park Sponsors at an annual Appreciation Breakfast. Hosted by Bloomingdale’s La Provence Restaurant for the 28th year and sponsored by AKRF, Inc. since 2016, the event this year was held May 4 and included a tasty buffet of eggs, muffins, fruit, yogurt and more. Each guest received a packet of “vintage” notecards bearing images of the Gazebo and the Renoda Hoffman street clock in Tibbits Park, sketched by Mary Lang Farrell and Mary Briante. Printing costs were underwritten by DeRosa Builders and Alloy Printing.

William Null, partner at Diamond Sponsor Cuddy & Feder and Chairman of the Board of Gold Sponsor White Plains Hospital, spoke of WPBF’s commitment to the community and the palpable results of their efforts.

Please join us in our mission to create “a city in the park” by joining individuals, corporations and small businesses and becoming an Adopt-a-Park Sponsor. Contact us at info@wpbf.org for more information.
