Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) is hosting a socially distanced picnic in place of our annual fundraising gala. Or, we will deliver a picnic for you to enjoy at home while tuning into our virtual program. Although the event format has changed, the goal remains the same—raising much-needed funds for the ongoing care, revitalization, and activation of Houston’s greatest natural resource. Enhancement of the five-year-old Buffalo Bayou Park was made possible by a catalyst gift from the Kinder Foundation, along with the City of Houston through Houston Parks & Recreation Department, Harris County Flood Control District, and Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) #3. This award-winning park has become a focal point for the city, providing a place for recreation, relaxation, and respite for hundreds of thousands of visitors. During the current health crisis especially, this accessible public space has been a critically important refuge for Houstonians of all ages and walks of life. Buffalo Bayou Park comes to life when friends like you are there, so please join with us in honoring its essential role in the community.
